Research
I combine epidemiological and economic approaches to study access to and quality of care in low- and middle-income countries.
I work on the RECAP project on preparedness and response to humanitarian crises and epidemics. My focus is on access to routine maternal, reproductive and child health services for refugees and after epidemics.
I have previously worked on the evaluation of an intervention to improve quality of care in private health facilities in sub-Saharan Africa, which included an RCT in Tanzania and analysis of programmatic data.
I have a particular interest in the harms overprovision of healthcare, and am completing a PhD on this topic, supervised by Tim Powell-Jackson and James Hargreaves.
