About the Editors
Paul Revill is a senior research fellow at the Centre for Health Economics, University of York, and is the team lead in global health economic evaluation. He is director of the RCUK GCRF-funded Thanzi la Onse (Health of All) program that aims to support government-led, analytically informed healthcare decision-making in Africa. Pauls research interests revolve around the development of methods and applied economic evaluation to inform resource allocation decisions within healthcare sectors of low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The underlying aim of his work is to ensure that resources committed to healthcare are spent in ways likely to lead to greatest improvements in population health and wellbeing, recognizing the complexities of real world healthcare systems. He is a visiting fellow at the Centre for Global Development (CGD) in Washington, D.C. Previously, he was an economist at the Ministry of Health in Malawi.
