Bachelor of Science
Dr. Adam Craig is an infectious disease epidemiologist and global health system researcher. He has more than 20 years of experience in health, having worked across and with Australian, Asian and Pacific health authorities. Among other areas, his research explores the use of digital technology to support health information collection and exchange and how technology may support improved health system function. Other Pacific-related projects Adam is currently involved in include: the development of policy advice for Pacific leaders on healthy ageing; an evaluation of the health, social and economic impact of Australia’s change to Kava importation laws; prudent use of digital technology to support health care delivery in the Pacific; and stimulation of operational research for quality improvement in vector surveillance programs. In addition to his academic roles, Adam is the epidemiology and health system advisor to the Australia-Indonesia Health Security Partnership and research consortium lead for the Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies.

Currently, I am a primary investigator on eight research projects. These include:
- An investigation of opportunities to use digital health to support the achievement of universal health coverage in the Pacific islands.
- Research into models for building capacity for sustainable vector surveillance and control in the Pacific islands.
- The monitoring of social, health, cultural, and economic impacts of Australia's change to kava importation law.
- Use of citizen science for arboviral disease surveillance in small Pacific island States.
- Policy analysis of healthy ageing policy in the Pacific Islands.
- Use of novel technology to support primary health care service delivery in remote locations.
- Revision of the Fiji Islands Health System in Transition Report
- Tracking the experience and career outcomes of public health students.
