Overview
My research interests include measuring and monitoring coverage of maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) interventions and mortality, assessing socio-economic inequalities in MNCH as well as social and behavioral determinants of fertility and family planning. I am particularly interested in the effectiveness evaluation of large scale MNCH programs in low income countries.
