CENTRE FOR HEALTH POLICY RESEARCH (CHPR)

We conduct extensive research covering various
health policy areas, such as healthcare access,
delivery systems, and public health interventions.
We actively collaborate with policymakers and
stakeholders to identify gaps in policies, develop
recommendations, and assess the effectiveness
of current policies. Moreover, we offer training,
technical advice, and consultancy services to
healthcare system stakeholders, aiding them in
policy implementation and evaluation. Our aim is
to advocate for the utilization of research evidence
by all stakeholders to enhance and fortify our
healthcare system.
What Next?

• Evaluation of healthy aging policy, virtual clinic in primary care for healthcare delivery systems and
accessibility to Hepatitis C management.
• Development of strategies to improve Prison Healthcare.
• Capacity building in Implementation research, and plain language summary
