Health
The SHD works on urbanising the social determinants of health via interactions between urban and public health systems, informal work, and maternal and childcare practices; health-seeking behaviour of the urban poor; and the effects of climate change, housing, infrastructure, and built environment on health.
This work focuses on
01
Creating knowledge on non-communicable diseases, climate change, and health.
02
Design, functioning, and governance of urban public health systems.
03
Community behaviour in non-communicable disease care-seeking and treatment.
