Mr Kenneth Roger Katumba
Research Student - MPhil/PhD - Public Health & Policy
United Kingdom
I am a Health Economist at the MRC/UVRI & LSHTM Uganda Research Unit (Uganda), and a Research Fellow in the Global Health and Development Department at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK). I hold a PhD in Health Economics from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where my research used mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to examine how women at high risk of HIV acquisition can be offered cost-effective choices of HIV prevention methods.
My work focuses on the economic evaluation of health interventions, including cost and cost-effectiveness analysis, wellbeing research, quality-of-life valuation, health economics capacity strengthening, and promoting the uptake of research evidence in policy and practice. I have led and supported research across East and West Africa and have experience working in France. I also hold a Master of Public Health from EHESP French School of Public Health and a Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics from Makerere University.
My current research interests are in investigating how technology can be leveraged to improve the impact and implementation of interventions in health.
