Over 25 years of global health experience in Latin America, Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions. His core expertise is in the design and conduct of impact evaluations and clinical trials aimed at improving maternal, reproductive, newborn and child health. He focuses on expanding packages of care where doing so is supported by local epidemiology and operational capacity to address co-morbidities and reduce social inequities through the lifecycle. This often involves deploying malaria chemoprevention strategies as a starting point for the provision of more holistic care.
