"Integrated people-centred health services means putting people and communities, not diseases, at the centre of health systems" - Kathrin Cresswell talks about WHO's definition of integrated care.

[HTN Health Tech News @health1tech]

"The underlying assumption is that today's solutions are tomorrow's legacy problems. We need to develop longer term strategic foresight, not just create more legacy problems" - Kathrin touches on the problems around digital infrastructure.

NEW PAPER!

The objective of this review is to report the economic impact of seeking healthcare on slum-dwellers in terms of costs and catastrophic health expenditures. We will compare the economic impact on slum-dwellers with other city residents.

CoWin seems to be the new epitome of technological determinism in India, making an app a national joke!

The biggest casualty of the #odacuts frm @UKRI_News r d waste picking communities whose capacities were being built by @ARISEHub team @GeorgeInstIN 4 them 2 demand accountability 4 their health & well-being. @kentbuse #protectresearch #protectgcrf

[Surekha Garimella @SGarimella]

The @ARISEHub team at @GeorgeInstIN has painstakingly built trust, respectful and ethical research relationships with waste workers & communities #GCRF -We share some of our ongoing work which will be at risk #UKRIcuts

[ARISE @ARISEHub]

With funding from @UKRI_News our India team has developed relationships with waste workers - coming together to collect data and affect change. Catastrophic cuts to aid mean this work may be affected

[ARISE @ARISEHub]

Funds from @UKRI_News made it possible for us to form relationships with woman waste workers, start a dialogue with them and better understand their lived realities. @GCRF funding cuts will jeopardise this progress
