Sandhya Srinivas is a researcher interested in studying the effects of Public policy in addressing health disparities amongst at risk populations in developing economies. She is a published author of a collective health economics study, based in Delhi, India, which looked at measuring the burden of pediatric cancer on low income families (including the indirect and psychosocial costs, a documentation of which has not been touched upon in literature). There was a lot of satisfaction obtained from being able to produce research that can have an impact on communities and hospital policies, especially in communities of color, and she wishes to continue this research and come up with a costing instrument that can adequately measure psychosocial costs in such families. Sandhya was previously a Research Assistant at the Harvard Kennedy school, and is planning to attend a doctoral program in Public policy/Migration in the near future. She currently has a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics, from McGill University, Montreal.
