On behalf of ESHPM, Igna Bonfrer is participating in the recently formed International Research Network on Quality of Care for Chronic Conditions. This research network is led by The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) in Antwerp and funded by the Research Foundation – Flanders.
The focus of the cooperation will be on improving quality of care for chronic conditions in LMICs. The research will be building on recent work for the WHO by Callum Brindley, Nilmini Wijemunige, Judith Bom and Igna Bonfrer.
Other academic institutes in the network include the National Institute of Public Health (Cambodia), Ateneo de Manila University (Philippines), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Ghana) and Latin American Group for multidisciplinary Research on Chronic Diseases (Colombia, Cuba, Peru and Ecuador). A first workshop on the applicability of NCD findings from high income health care systems in the Global South will take place at ITM in the second half of 2024.
