About what kind of Fellowship it is, how to achieve it and what characteristics and skills you need to have, read in the dissertation discussion chapter, where the points characteristic of the scholarship are easily described.

He has also explored the impact of decentralization policy in India on its public health system and has a keen interest in comparative health systems studies in both low- and high-income countries. He is currently working within the Program in Policy Decision-Making as a research assistant on a project with the Canadian Cochrane Network and Centre to help develop a database of systematic reviews focusing solely on health systems research.
