Impact of research outside academia

My research on distributive ethics led to an appointment as a member of the WHO’s Consultative Group on Equity and Universal Health Coverage (2012-2014). The group produced a report, Making Fair Choices on the Path to Universal Health Coverage, in 2014. This report has been endorsed by the Director-General of the WHO in a publication in Health Systems and Reform. It has been presented at many international organizations and to policy-makers from over two dozen countries. It influenced an advisory report to the Norwegian government: Open and Fair: Priorities in Health. It also influenced the Ethiopian government’s decision to set up the Center for Medical Ethics and Priority-Setting at Addis Ababa university and to invite members of the Consultative Group (including myself) to provide training there and at universities around the country. As a follow up to the Report, some members of the Working Group teamed up with a dozen professionals working in Ministries of Health and several international organizations to write a collection of case studies in priority-setting in health. I am the co-ordinating lead author of these studies, which have been published as two articles. I am also co-investigator on a large multi-year project funded by NORAD and the Gates Foundation on formulating and institutionalizing principles for fair priority setting in health in Ethiopia, Malawi and Zanzibar, with Prof. Ole Frithjof Norheim as lead investigator. Through research, policy advice and training, the team aims to have very substantial impact on health policy in these countries.
