Irina Esteves Lopes

My research interests lie at the intersection of public health and evidence‑based policymaking. I am particularly focused on understanding how robust data and interdisciplinary evidence can inform strategic decision‑making processes in health systems, with a special emphasis on environmental performance and sustainability within healthcare settings. I aim to contribute to the development of policy-relevant frameworks and indicators that support designing effective, equitable, and sustainable health policies. My work is driven by a commitment to translating scientific insights into actionable strategies that strengthen public health systems and improve health outcomes across diverse global contexts.
