New blog from @AbdullahRafii discusses how cities don’t have one health system, they have many.

Informal providers & pharmacies aren’t the margins, they’re the backbone & the challenge isn’t fragmentation, its connecting the plurality

Congratulations team! New publication on the preparedness of primary healthcare facilities in Dhaka to manage hypertension and diabetes

[ARK Foundation @arkfoundation1]

Publication Alert! New research shows major gaps in urban primary care in Dhaka. Preparedness for hypertension is just 46.8% in urban dispensaries and 32.5% in NGO clinics; for diabetes, around 32–35%. Urgent action needed.
