A/Prof Natalie Carvalho, along with A/Prof Anthony Newall (UNSW) have established a new Australian Health Economics Society (AHES) Special Interest Group (SIG) focused on the Economics of Infectious Diseases.
The broad objectives of the group are to:
- Build capacity in health economics methods and applications addressing infectious diseases
- Raise the profile of health economists in Australia to contribute to policy and practice globally relating to infectious diseases
- Develop a mutually supportive and collaborative network of health economists involved in economics of infectious diseases research
- Provide opportunities for mentoring and advice regarding issues specific to infectious disease economics, and with a particular focus on early career academics and students.
- Help foster multidisciplinary collaborations with those in other relevant fields such as mathematical modellers.
