About me

    Price for best surgical PhD thesis in 2015, awarded by the Swedish Society of

Research

  • Global Surgery is a rapidly growing field of research. It's aim is to acheive
    equity in health. My research is clinically oriented and designed to meet
    desired features of innovations in Low and Middle Income countries: Low-cost,
    high-quality, setting appropriate and sustainable solutions. The common
    denominator for the research is that it often begins by measuring a problem,
    typically burden of disease due to a specific condition before trials are
    designed to evaluate possible solutions to the problem under study.
    Currently, the research evolves around groin hernia, breast cancer and
    paediatric surgery. Due to new partnerships, research on colorectal cancer
    and burns will be added to the portfolio.
