Prof. Moses Kweku Sekyi Aikins (Associate Professor, Health Policy, Planning & Management)
Professor Aikins has over 20 years professional experience in economic evaluation (i.e., costing and cost-effectiveness analyses) in public health, population interventions and other programs. His work has covered costing and cost-effective analyses for a number of tropical diseases such as Malaria, Filariasis, Buruli, Rotavirus diarrhea, and HIV/AIDS as well as Family Planning at national, regional, district and program levels. He also has immense experience in healthcare financing such as evaluation of mutual health organizations, insurance schemes and exemption schemes at district levels; experience in mainstreaming of HIV/AIDS interventions and programs into non-health sectors. These programs benefited the general population as well as at risk populations such as those in the Prisons. He is particularly inspirational in building capacity and training of researchers and fieldworkers on economic evaluation and data collection, designing of social, cultural and economic questionnaires for data collection and analysis, monitoring and evaluation of district, donor and community funded programs. His training, research skills and overall work experience would help the Institute achieve cost-effectiveness in its operations to the benefits of the students and the Institute as Chairman of the Board.
