The Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC), in collaboration with various organisations working in health, research and development, organized the 11th National Summit of Health and Population Scientists on the 10th and 11th of  April 2025. HERD International had a strong presence, and shared the work of a number of CHORUS projects in Nepal.

Abhigyna Bhattarai, a lead researcher on the CHORUS project at HERD international, presents the work exploring possibilities of linking the private pharmacies with public health through, using a co-design approach. Preliminary findings on the project indicate considerable progress in integrating pharmacies into the local health system in responding to NCDs.
