Ziana Ahmed, a graduate student pursuing her Master’s in Economics, is the co-author of a paper published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine and attracting attention around the world for its simple proposal to combat the spread of drug resistance: user fees.
Ahmed, whose research interests centre around health, development and public economics, wrote the paper with University of Toronto alumnus Aidan Hollis, now a professor of Economics at the University of Calgary. And in the month since Preserving Antibiotics, Rationally was released, it has caused headlines throughout North America and Europe.
Ahmed spoke with U of T News about her research and her desire to use the knowledge gained at U of T to influence public policy and improve the standard of living and quality of life of Canadians.
