Short presentation
PhD student in the Uppsala Global Health Research on Implementation and Sustainability (UGHRIS) group. I have a background as a physician and my research concerns inequity in child health in Sweden and how current disparities can be bridged through the contextualisation and implementation of a maternal peer support intervention developed in South Africa.
