This role is responsible for performing comprehensive economic analyses to evaluate new diagnostic tools, approaches, and resource allocation within the project. The Health Economist will collaborate closely with project leadership, the TB Program team, the International Costing Expert, and global partners, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Global Fund, and Stop TB Partnership.

Key responsibilities include designing and conducting cost-effectiveness analyses, developing detailed reports, and presenting actionable recommendations.
