Biography
Uday has implemented various public health programs and conducted research in Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Australia. He has experience working with development partners such as USAID, UNAIDS and IOM.
Uday’s research has two major strands: assessing health problems and implementing co-designed solutions to address those problems. He is particularly interested in a multidisciplinary research collaboration that can comprehensively address the multifaceted needs of the people. His research interests include:
1. Prevention and management of chronic disease via community and primary care approaches
2. Co-design and Implementation science
3. Addressing health inequality, including interventions to improve the health status of disadvantaged groups, including older adults, and
4. Evidence based policy, advocacy and practice.
As a recipient of seven research grants, resulting into over 80 publications in international peer-reviewed journals, Uday’s contribution to global health is well recognised. He is the recipient of two esteemed awards, the 2021 David L.
