I have worked with the Universities of Nairobi and Nigeria as well as NGOs in Kenya and Nigeria to establish international networks on reducing health and social inequalities.

The networks cover a range of disadvantaged groups as well as the intersections between these: ethnic and faith communities, women, young people and migrants.

The networks have undertaken workshops and research projects focusing on the experience of people underserved by health services and seldom heard in decision-making about health policy and practice.

I am particularly interested in research on interventions that reduce health inequalities.
