Min Wai Lwin, M.Sc.

Min Wai Lwin is currently conducting a comprehensive cost-effectiveness analysis focused on cancer care and treatment, comparing certified cancer centers with non-certified facilities. This study integrates patient survival analysis, real-world evidence, and administrative data sourced from statutory health insurance. Additionally, he is overseeing a project centered on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening, using a Discrete Event Simulation model.

With a medical background from Myanmar (formerly Burma), Min brings four years of experience in implementing health projects for a non-profit organization. He holds a Master of Science degree in Public Health, specializing in Health Economics, from Umeå University in Sweden. Notably, he was awarded the prestigious Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals 2019/21. During his Master's studies, Min's first thesis explored the correlation between abnormal birth weight and maternal characteristics and lifestyle. His second thesis employed a Markov Model to assess the cost-effectiveness of lifestyle interventions aimed at mitigating obesity-related risks for colorectal cancers.
