About

I am a public health researcher focusing on NCD prevention and specialized in secondary prevention of stroke. Being aware on the cost-effectiveness and the potential of mHealth as powerful tool to prevent recurrence of stroke; I streamlined my research towards technological innovations in secondary prevention of stroke. The post stroke care begins after the discharge from hospital. Being aware of limited health workforce in the country to provide continuum of care for stroke survivors, I am also working to build models for secondary prevention of stroke.
