About the Speaker
Margaret E. Kruk, MD, MPH
QuEST Center Director
Professor of Health Systems, Department of Global Health and Population

Margaret Kruk’s research generates evidence on how health systems can improve health for people living in low-income countries. Working with colleagues in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nepal, South Africa, and India, among other countries, she develops novel measures of health system quality and studies the links between quality and population demand for health care, health outcomes, and confidence in the system. Kruk and her team use implementation science and econometric methods to evaluate large-scale health system reforms.
