- Research summary
- Social pharmacy; medicines and society in developed and developing countries
Research
My research expertise is in international health, implementation of aid, provision and use of health services in developed and developing countries and interaction between different medical systems. My focus is on the broader historical, social, political and economic context in which sickness is experienced and healthcare services are provided.
The main areas I am currently working on are:
- Changing patterns of medicines use, the place of medicines in primary healthcare services both in international/global and New Zealand contexts, medicines and migration, and medicines in the context of people's lives. I have a particular interest in Nepal and the Himalayan region.
- Global vaccination programmes, focusing on smallpox in Nepal
- Medicines and pharmacy history in New Zealand
