In this episode, Mr Jeffrey Knezovich, host of The Alliance Lift, speaks with Dr Katherine Ann Reyes, based at the University of the Philippines Manila. A physician by training, Dr Reyes works at the intersection of public health, policy and health systems, with a focus on practical policy choices that affect everyday life – from tobacco control and healthy consumption to immunization and stronger promotive and preventive care.
Jeffrey spoke with Katherine about the experiences that drew her from hospital-based care into prevention and public health, what she learned through the Alliance’s mentorship community and what makes the health policy and systems research ecosystem in the Philippines distinctive – including the role of government investment.
Dr Reyes also reflects on her Alliance-supported work to improve uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the Philippines. She discusses what it means to approach vaccine uptake as a complex systems issue, why co-creation must be embedded throughout the research process and how careful framing and listening can create space for informed decision-making when vaccination intersects with sensitive issues.
