Dr Lynne Lohfield

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

As a Lecturer in Global Health and a medical anthropologist, my research focuses on identifying and overcoming barriers to equitable access and use of healthcare services, particularly in low-resource areas.

Ongoing research includes reducing time to breast and cervical cancer diagnosis (Angola, Vietnam), ways to promote screening and follow-up care by people with diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma (Vietnam, China), and working with experts to establish pediatric palliative care where it is not yet in place in Africa.
