Call for applications – Research Scientist

Institution: HRIDAY

Location: New Delhi, India

No. of posts: Two

Overview

The National Institute for Health and Care Research has funded the Centre for Chronic Disease Control, University of Leicester, HRIDAY, All India Institute of Medical Sciences Jodhpur, and Kathmandu Medical College, Nepal, to establish a Global Health Research Centre for Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTCs). MLTCs are commonly defined as the co-existence of two or more long term conditions, each of which is a long-term physical (e.g., diabetes), mental (e.g., depression) or infectious disease (Hepatitis C). For more information on MLTCs, please see the editorial entitled “Multimorbidity or multiple long-term conditions: need for bridging the evidence & care gaps to address an emerging priority public health issue in India.”

Despite its growing burden, MLTCs have received minimal recognition from healthcare providers and policymakers. Health systems are still focused on individual disease management rather than having an integrated care model, resulting in the delivery of fragmented and inefficient care. The Centre aims to address some of these issues via co-designing, implementing, and evaluating a person-centered health system intervention comprising of decision support system, assisted telemedicine, patient facing application and community engagement and involvement.
