Dr. Eran Bendavid's research interests involve understanding the relationship between policies and health outcomes in developing countries. Dr. Bendavid explores how decisions about foreign assistance for health are made, and how those decisions affect health and health delivery systems in recipient countries. He further explores issues of resource allocation in low and middle-income countries through disease modeling and cost-effectiveness analyses.
