Dr. Kathirvel S, MBBS, MD (Community Medicine) is working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Community Medicine and School of Public Health, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) Chandigarh, India. He is an alumnus of the WHO Structured Operational Research Training Initiative (SORT IT) and the Summer School of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC-WHO), Lyon (France). He provides clinical services to vulnerable and marginalized populations in northern India in addition to teaching MD, MPH, BPH and PhD scholars. His area of research is Primary/Rural healthcare, Implementation/operational research, AMR, NCDs (Diabetes, Hypertension, Chronic Respiratory Diseases, and Cancer) and the Internet of Things in Healthcare. Professor Mary Wiktorowicz is his graduate supervisor.
He wanted to explore the answers to the following research questions beyond the burden of AMR, namely, a) What is the role of the interdisciplinary areas (environmental sciences, animal health, plant health, engineering, law, and politics) in the prevention and control of AMR (with special focus on anti-fungal resistance; b) What are the practical political and regulatory approaches available in the control and prevention of AMR in a LMIC context; and c) How will developing an international treaty and or monitoring framework improve political commitment and integration within a national action plan to control AMR in a LMIC context?
As a new graduate student at Dahdaleh Institute, Kathirvel am very excited about the new-, de-and re-learnings that is going to happen in the next four years and beyond. The strength of DI for networking and collaboration will be exploited by him to improve the well-being of the population across the borders.
