EDPs in Liberia

The Disease Control Priorities 3 (DCP3) Country Translation project is supporting selected low- and middle-income countries in setting priorities for essential packages of health services (EPHS), on the pathway to universal health coverage (UHC). In 2021, DCP3 initiated collaboration with the Liberia Ministry of Health (MoH) to provide technical assistance in revising the national EPHS. Radboudumc took responsibility for organising the prioritisation process of these revisions.

The UHC EPHS prioritisation process, involving a wide array of stakeholders, led to the shortlisting of >100 high-priority interventions, using decision criteria that included cost-effectiveness of interventions, disease burden targeted, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) averted, budget impact, financial risk protection, equity (targeting vulnerable population groups), and feasibility of implementation.

The MoH now has the data, technical capacity, and the tools to adjust this package to fit any future policy and fiscal changes or address additional considerations that may emerge during implementation.

Research Research groups

Where experience meets talent

By working in groups, we accelerate the development of knowledge and its implementation. Each group is led by an experienced group leader, who ensures the direction, focus and sustainable development of the group and the well-being and professional development of its members. The specialized knowledge is applied in one or more research programs.

Our research groups

Addiction psychiatry

Arnt Schellekens's research group aims to reduce the tremendous burden of addictive disorders through translational research, linking basic science with clinical practice. The group focuses on disentangling clinical heterogeneity, in order to develop personalized addiction treatment strategies.

Advanced x-ray imaging methods

Ioannis Sechopoulos's research group specializes in research on novel image acquisition, processing and analysis in diagnostic x-ray based imaging, particularly for breast and body computed tomography.

Affordability and accessibility of care

Bram Wouterse's research group investigates how to make health care systems sustainable, from a financial, work force, societal, and environmental perspective. We do so in collaboration with policymakers and by combining evidence at the individual and local level.

AI for precision medicine

Francesco Ciompi's research group focuses on precision medicine, investigating and developing artificial intelligence models to better understand diseases, discover novel biomarkers, and help physicians to improve their routine diagnostics and select the right treatments to help patients.

AI in thoracic oncology

Colin Jacobs's research group investigates how to develop robust and trustworthy artificial intelligence algorithms for medical imaging in the field of lung cancer, how to validate these algorithms in clinical practice, and how we can have the most impact with AI in healthcare.

Pages in development

We are in the process of creating a web page for each research group. Over the next few months, this overview will be completed.
