About

Edwin van Teijlingen is a leading health researcher whose work spans maternal and reproductive health, public health in low-income settings, and the sociological dimensions of healthcare. With a career rooted in Nepal and the UK, he has made foundational contributions to understanding health service utilization, maternity care, and the social determinants of health in underserved populations. His research integrates qualitative and quantitative methods to inform policy and practice, particularly in South Asia. Among his notable works is "Artificial Intelligence and Health in Nepal" (2020, 8 citations), which explores the transformative potential of big data and AI in resource-constrained healthcare systems. While his citation impact reflects a focused, field-shaping influence rather than broad metrics, van Teijlingen has co-authored over 200 publications and is widely recognized for mentoring a generation of public health researchers in Nepal. He is also a co-founder of the Nepal Health Research Council’s ethics committee and a passionate advocate for community-based participatory research. His work continues to bridge global health theory with local realities, making him a pivotal figure in international public health scholarship.
