At York St John University London Campus, I am Semester Lead for MSc Public Health. I will be leading two modules - Health Economics and Public Health for an Ageing Population.

I have undertaken research on critical aspects of Human Resources for Health (HRH) by developing appropriate techniques and models for the estimation and forecasting of HRH. The focus of my research is on the provision of universal health coverage through the reduction of geo-spatial inequities in resource deficit settings for general and specialized services of health care workers.
