QMU expert takes global research lead
Professor Barbara McPake, director of the Institute for International Health and Development at QMU, will co-direct research for the programme, which aims to provide valuable new knowledge from countries that have recovered from conflict situations - such as Sierra Leone and Cambodia - to help other countries in the immediate aftermath of political and social conflict.
Professor McPake said: "It will be a privilege to work with such a skilled team of professionals from all over the world.
"There are particular opportunities in post-conflict fragile states for reshaping health systems to give poor people better access to services and reduce the burden of health related expenditure."
