Tazwar Bin Saleh

Role at ISH

Tazwar Bin Saleh is a Research Associate in Economics and Development Finance at Intelligent Systems for Health (ISH). His work examines the economic and financial conditions that shape whether health technologies can be implemented and sustained in Bangladesh, including resource requirements, implementation costs, affordability, financing constraints, and feasibility across different service settings.

This work complements ISH's implementation-science and health-systems research by evaluating the economic and development context surrounding technology adoption in urban and rural settings.

Research contribution

• Implementation costs and resources: examining the economic implications of workforce, training, and infrastructure requirements.
• Affordability and financing: investigating budgeting constraints, development-finance considerations, and conditions for financial sustainability.
• Implementation alternatives and scale: comparing economic and financial feasibility across service settings and examining the resource constraints on scaling interventions in Bangladesh.
• Economic evaluation: considering costs and cost-effectiveness where sufficient evidence exists.
