Dr Meyer-Rath is a Research Associate Professor at the Department of Global Health of the Boston University School of Public Health. She is a physician and health economist working on the economics of HIV and COVID-19 in low- and middle-income countries. Her focus lies on modeling methods for economic evaluation, including infectious disease modeling and decision analysis, and translating research into recommendations for public policy. Before joining BUSPH she has worked in the Pediatrics Department of Charité University Hospital Berlin, at the World Health Organization and at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Dr Meyer-Rath is based in Johannesburg where she works at the Health Economics and Epidemiology Research Office (HE2RO), a collaboration between Boston University and the University of the Witwatersrand. She holds a PhD in Health Economics from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine as well as a MD/PhD in Physiology from Free University Berlin.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Early this year I was invited to co-chair a conference session on "Decolonising Health Economics" at the International Health Economics Association Conference. I tried to refuse, not thinking that as a highly privileged German national I could do the subject justice, but my co-chair, a Malawian health economist who I had mentored through her PhD, insisted. She invited me to talk about HE2RO's experience in building sustained academic health economics capacity in a middle-income country. This started my journey towards more consciously centering local, in particular first generation, staff in all activities. The notes under "Ad 7" above are in part a summary of that endeavour; of the four mentees mentioned, all are South African, two are previously disadvantaged, and all are first generation academics. Being involved in a first pan-African research project, the "UHCDigital" project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) continued the theme of making space (in brief, shutting up and stepping aside). Lastly, thinking through what kind of health modelling institute we want to build extended the theme of capacity building. I do believe we need to collectively move from building capacity individually, one-at-a-time, depending on our time and budget (there's a reason why "Capacity building" most often comes last in any funding proposal), towards helping to co-design, then build local institutions- then, once it is up and running, getting out. My joining the BUSPH DEIJ at the beginning of 2022 continues this journey.
