Research

I am currently working on an economic evaluation of models of integrated HIV and SRH services (the Integra project). This is a 5 year Gates-funded project in Kenya, Swaziland and Malawi, which started in January 2008.  I am also contributing to an economic analysis of chronic diseases in Uganda and Tanzania. 

I was previously involved in research evaluating the costs and cost-effectiveness of introduction of rapid syphilis tests in antenatal care, as part of the STD Diagnostics Initiative.
