ARK Hosts CHORUS Partners Meeting in Dhaka

The CHORUS Partners Meeting, hosted by ARK, took place from January 26th to 29th at Hotel Lake Castle in Dhaka, bringing together researchers, policymakers, and experts from Bangladesh, Nepal, Ghana, Nigeria, and the UK. The event focused on sharing insights and strategies for strengthening urban health systems across the participating countries.

Discussions explored early findings, strategies for improving urban health systems, and strengthening collaboration among partners. Country-specific updates were shared, and action plans were finalized to address health challenges in underserved communities. A key session on gender and equity provided a platform for inclusive approaches to tackling urban health challenges, ensuring that all voices were heard in shaping the project’s impact.

The meeting also focused on enhancing research uptake, developing pathways for impactful outcomes in Project 2, and coordinating cross-country efforts to improve urban health systems. The collaborative discussions laid a strong foundation for the ongoing success of the project, with a shared commitment to achieving sustainable health improvements in urban areas.
