【Profile】
Ayako Honda has extensive experience in research on health systems in Africa and Asia. She previously worked in the Health Economics Unit at the University of Cape Town, South Africa and has collaborated with African and Asian researchers to address a range of health systems issues in LMIC settings. She holds a PhD in health economics from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (University of London). Ayako is interested in understanding how different groups of actors respond to the implementation of policy options, particularly health care financing policy that aims to progress toward universal health coverage. She is also interested in the use of discrete choice experiment (DCE) in LMIC settings as a method to understand the needs, preferences and values of people working in health systems in order to reflect people’s opinions in policy.
