Dr Karen Grépin is a health economist and comparative health systems researcher. In early 2020, she moved from Canada to Hong Kong to join the School of Public Health, HKU. Since obtaining her PhD in Heath Policy (Economics) from Harvard University, Dr Grépin has worked extensively on health policies which developing countries adopt, and their impact on population health.
