Ulrika Enemark

Ulrika Enemark serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Health at Aarhus University, Denmark, with extensive expertise in health economics and health systems research spanning over 25 years across 15+ countries in the global south. Her work focuses on vulnerable populations and health system financing mechanisms.

Her educational background includes a Cand. polit. (equivalent to a Master's degree) and a PhD.

Enemark's research centers on three interconnected domains: (1) the dynamics of healthcare need, care-seeking behavior, and financing for vulnerable groups like children and the elderly; (2) health and service utilization inequality; and (3) economic evaluation of health interventions. Her methodological strengths include survey design, register-based studies, and mixed-methods approaches within global health contexts.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a concentrated focus on health economics in LMIC settings, particularly Ghana and Nepal. Key thematic clusters include catastrophic health expenditures related to non-communicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance costs, maternal/child health outcomes, and household financial impacts of malaria treatment. Her work consistently employs economic evaluation frameworks within culturally grounded health system analyses.

Scientific awards: None documented in available sources.

She actively supervises students across BA, MA, and PhD levels (including 5 PhD candidates) and secures external research funding through competitively awarded projects. Current grants include leadership of the Developing Ghana's Care Economy project (2020-2026) and participation in home dialysis innovation initiatives, with historical funding from Denmark's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Enemark maintains active international research networks through collaborations with the University of Ghana and memberships in ICARS (International Center for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions) and the Danish Society for Health Economics, driving interdisciplinary work on health system challenges in resource-constrained settings.
