In this presentation, he will share his research on HPV vaccination policymaking and priority setting using the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine as a marker. Through a comparative case study looking at Canada, Rwanda, and Ghana he seeks to understand the convergence and divergence in policymaking and the context within which the HPV vaccine and cervical cancer program were planned, formulated, and organized for implementation as a health intervention instrument to a major public problem. Eric's research aims to facilitate access to life-saving vaccines in underserved regions by leveraging creative approaches to effectively address a public health problem, with or without plentiful resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/dighr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2023\/10\/Asempah-1-1024x536.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/dighr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2023\/10\/Asempah-1-1024x536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/dighr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2023\/10\/Asempah-1-300x157.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/dighr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2023\/10\/Asempah-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaker Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric is a health policy researcher and pharmaceutical professional with over 14 years of industry experience and has a deep passion and interest in public health policy and equity.
