Professor Sue Horton has been appointed a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) for her significant contributions in the field of health economics.
Best known for her work on the economics of nutrition interventions in low and middle-income countries, Professor Horton has presented in more than 40 countries and served on over a dozen high-level international boards and advisory committees.
Her presentation at the 2008 Copenhagen Consensus and her book estimating the global cost of scaling up nutrition programs, were influential in prioritizing nutrition in the international policy agenda.
She serves as chair of global health economics at the Centre for International Governance Innovation.
