Public health research & evaluation consultancy
Where rigorous data meets real public health questions.
Epicentra Health Research (EHR) provides advanced statistical analysis, research support, and academic guidance for researchers, students, NGOs, municipalities, and international organisations — led by Dr. Benti Geleta Buli (PhD), drawing on more than two decades of field epidemiology and applied research.
The idea
Evidence-driven support, without the overhead of a large firm.
EHR delivers accurate, timely, and methodologically sound research support that strengthens the quality of decision-making. It rests on a strong academic foundation: a PhD in Public Health Sciences from Sweden, an MPH from South Africa, and a BSc in Public Health from Ethiopia — complemented by advanced analytical skill in STATA, SPSS, and R, and professional experience spanning Africa and Sweden.
The business operates primarily online — flexible, low-overhead, and reachable across time zones — so clients get senior-level expertise without senior-firm pricing.
Who it's for
- Master's & PhD students, in Sweden and abroad
- University researchers needing statistical support
- NGOs and civil-society organisations
- Municipalities & regional health authorities
- International organisations active in Africa or Sweden

Clarity over jargon
Complex statistical concepts explained in plain, accessible language — for committees, supervisors, and stakeholders alike.
Personal & flexible
A one-person structure means direct access to the consultant on every engagement, with flexible scheduling across time zones.
