Portrait of Matthew Kuch

Matthew Kuch

I am a management consultant working in global health, and a writer. For more than a decade I have worked on how health systems are financed and how they deliver, at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance in Geneva, the Clinton Health Access Initiative in Uganda and Lesotho, and Deloitte Consulting before that.

I write about where money, politics and public health meet, and I use data and visual storytelling to make those arguments land. Most of what I publish starts as a question I could not answer from a spreadsheet.

  • Health Financing
  • Global Health
  • Political Economy
  • Data Visualization
  • Supply Chain Management
