Dr Kharroubi has received the LMIC Health Economics and Outcomes Research Excellence Award. Dr Kharroubi said of the award: “I am honoured and humbled to have received the ISPOR Low and Middle-Income Countries Health Economics and Outcomes Research Excellence Award. I feel truly privileged being an Honorary Reader in ScHARR at the University of Sheffield. I am forever indebted to my colleagues and long-standing collaborators at ScHARR and CHEBS including Prof John Brazier, Prof Alan Brennan, Prof Mark Strong, Prof Tony O’Hagan, Prof Jeremy Oakley, Prof Chris McCabe, Dr Donna Rowen and many others. Their earnest support and continuous encouragement have been and will always be a significant factor in my development. Without their continual support, none of this would have happened. For this, I am extremely grateful and more success stories to come!”
