Bertrand LEFEBVRE

Bertrand Lefebvre is an Associate Professor of International Public Health at EHESP (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Santé Publique) in France, with a dual affiliation to UMR ARENES and the Centre d'Études de l'Inde et de l'Asie du Sud (CEIAS-EHESS). He holds a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Rouen and an M.Phil. in Health Geography from the University of Paris Nanterre.

His research focuses on environmental health in Global South cities, reduction of social/territorial inequalities, and health policies in low- and middle-income countries. Key project initiatives include the EU-funded DENFREE (2012-16) and ANR-backed AEDESS (2010-13), both addressing dengue outbreak modeling. His work intersects with urban governance, air quality policy, and healthcare access dynamics.

Lefebvre teaches advanced courses on GIS applications in environmental health, spatial analysis, and global health systems. He coordinates EHESP's Master of Public Health programs, including modules on health policy analysis and environmental change impacts.

His recent publications emphasize hypertension in rural India's elderly populations, spatial dimensions of healthcare access, and air quality governance in cities like Delhi and Bangkok. He collaborates with institutions in France, India, Thailand, and Tunisia, contributing to interdisciplinary research on health systems and environmental sustainability.
