Center for Global Development

"Until recently there were no global estimates for the burden of antimicrobial resistance on health care systems or how this might change. Because resistance is a collection of many different illnesses and countries in the world differ so much, there wasn’t an obvious way to do this. My team considered several potential partners to collaborate with to answer this question, as part of a bigger piece of work on the economic burden of AMR. We chose Perma Analytics because Tim put forward an excellent methodology that combined literature reviews and mathematical modelling to answer this difficult question. The work was excellent, Tim led the work and put forward solutions to all the difficult challenges along the way, whilst ensuring to include us in all important decisions. Results were presented to us clearly and effectively, all deadlines were met on or ahead of time. The results represented a novel and innovative piece of evidence in the area of AMR, but Perma Analytics made the detailed technical work underlying this novel research look easy, with impressive clarity of analytical strategy from the start, that was delivered with expert precision."
