HIV Prevention Interventions & Performance Management: What Can We Learn From the Data
The access to large datasets containing management information of health facilities represents an opportunity to analyze and improve the performance and efficiency of such facilities. The heterogeneity observed across facilities is related not only to the diseases that they treat but also to their management decisions. This seminar presents (with concrete examples of HIV interventions in Africa and Mexico) what decision makers could learn from the data to improve the performance of the facilities.

Dr. Bertozzi began his service as dean and professor of health policy and management at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health in September 2013. Previously he was a senior fellow at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he has directed the HIV and tuberculosis programs and led a team that manages the foundation’s portfolio of grants in HIV vaccine development, biomedical prevention research, diagnostics, and strategies for introduction and scaling-up of interventions. He oversaw the development of a new initiative in efficiency and effectiveness, and represented the private foundation’s constituency on the board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. He also serves on the scientific advisory boards for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the National Institute of Health’s Office of AIDS Research and the World Health Organization.
Prior to joining the Gates Foundation, Dr. Bertozzi worked at the Mexican National Institute of Public Health as director of its Center for Evaluation Research and Surveys. He led economics and statistics teams that conducted impact evaluations of large health and social programs in Mexico, as well as in Africa, Asia and Latin America. He also led the institute’s AIDS/Sexually Transmitted Infections research group. Before moving to Mexico he was part of UNAIDS' founding management team after being the last person to lead WHO's Global Programme on AIDS. He is a physician and a health economist and received his training at MIT, UCSD and UCSF.
