Turning population data into health action across East Africa
Anthony Ngugi's global work focuses on how better population data can drive health action and greater equity in low- and middle-income countries, with a current emphasis on aging and cognitive health. He is currently working on LOSHAK, Kenya's first national cohort study of aging, as multiple principal investigator, in partnership with the University of Michigan. Additionally, his research interests include dementia prevention, non-communicable diseases, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and strengthening community health systems. He set up and leads the Kaloleni-Rabai Health and Demographic Surveillance System on the Kenyan coast, which is the Aga Khan University's lead site in the ACACIA Hub, and co-chairs RISE, a training program in research capacity and grant writing across East Africa and Pakistan.
