Ms Kamya's PHD work is centered around the economic evaluation of malaria chemoprevention alternatives in children with sickle cell anemia in eastern and Souther Africa. Specifically, she will be exploring the economic burden, health related quality of life and cost effectivness of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine compared to sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine for chemoprevention of malaria in chidlren with sickle cell anemia.
