Min Wai Lwin is currently conducting a comprehensive cost-effectiveness analysis focused on cancer care and treatment, comparing certified cancer centers with non-certified facilities. This study integrates patient survival analysis, real-world evidence, and administrative data sourced from statutory health insurance. Additionally, he is overseeing a project evaluating the cost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening using a Discrete Event Simulation model.
With a medical background from Myanmar (formerly Burma), Mr. Lwin brings four years of experience implementing health projects for a non-profit organization. He holds a Master of Science degree in Public Health, specializing in Health Economics, from Umeå University in Sweden. Notably, he was awarded the prestigious Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals (2019–2021). During his Master's studies, Mr. Lwin’s first thesis explored the correlation between abnormal birth weight and maternal characteristics and lifestyle. His second thesis employed a Markov model to assess the cost-effectiveness of lifestyle interventions aimed at mitigating obesity-related risks for colorectal cancer.
