‘From Evidence To Impact’ Series: ‘From Fragmentation to Harmonisation – Strengthening Urban Health Systems through Provider Partnerships and Collaboration
To mark World Cities Day and Urban October 2025, we are holding the first of our series of ‘From Evidence to Impact’ events:
‘From Fragmentation to Harmonisation – Strengthening Urban Health Systems through Provider Partnerships and Collaboration. Findings from Four LMIC Cities’
We will share CHORUS key messages on the opportunities and challenges of linking informal and private health providers with the formal health system across the different urban contexts. We will also hear from policymakers from each of the CHORUS cities who have been working to implement these linkages – and their priorities, challenges and lessons for improving access to quality healthcare services for poor urban populations.
Date: 30th October 2025
Time: 10.00 – 11.15 GMT
Location: Teams
The event is chaired by Prof. Helen Elsey, CHORUS Co-Director, University of York, and features key policy makers from each of our CHORUS cities in the panel:
Dr. Khaleda Islam, Director, Primary Healthcare (retired), Directorate General of Health Services, Bangladesh
Dr. Andrews Ayim, Deputy Director Public Health, Bono East Region, Ghana Health Services, Ghana
Mr. Subash Bastola, Public Health Officer, Health Division, Pokhara Metropolitan City, Nepal
Mr. Ikedichukwu Emmanuel Ayogu, Desk Officer Urban Health Unity, Enugu State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Nigeria
