My research portfolio includes a range of studies focused on health systems and financing research to improve women's, children's and adolescent health in under-resourced and humanitarian crises settings.

In the Middle East, my research is focused on assessing supply- and demand-side factors to facilitating or hindering delivery of key health interventions for women and children in Syria. In Lebanon, I am also involved in research assessing health financing arrangements for Syrian refugee and uninsured Lebanese women.

In Northern Uganda, I am leading a study to assess health financing arrangements and service delivery for sexual, reproductive and maternal health intervention for refugee and Ugandan adolescent girls and women.

In Afghanistan, I work as part of an international team of academics to revise the country’s basic package of health services, with my role focused on leading a national- and subnational-level health system assessment with a view to assessing progress toward achieving universal health coverage targets.

I am also leading an evidence review of adolescent sexual and reproductive health interventions in humanitarian settings.  

My research in under-resourced settings is focused on health financing, specifically assessing the health systems effects of pay for performance programmes in sub-Saharan Africa (Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Zambia) and Brazil.
