Senior Consultant Physican, Specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiology, Department of

Research
My research interests are in the fields of global health, health systems, critical care and internal medicine. My focus is to explore the potential of basic, feasible, low-cost actions in health care that are often overlooked in policy, research and medical practice. The output is intended to assist decision making in policy and clinical practice. The aim is to generate knowledge that can increase priority of high value care, fair choices in health systems and resilience for health crises.
Teaching
Former Director of Resident training program and Head of Internship Program, Department of Internal Medicine, Nyköpings Hospital.
