Research
In my main project with Exemplars in Global Health, I analyse the performance and efficiency of primary healthcare systems in low-and middle-income countries using mixed methods. I recently completed my PhD in Health Economics, where I used Discrete Choice Experiments to understand heterogeneity in the job preferences of community-based healthcare workers in Ethiopia and Ghana, and how it can be modelled, with a view to inform policy interventions to improve retention.
