Between 2010 and 2023, most of the published work was done in collaboration with various departments, clusters, and teams of the World Health Organization (WHO). These include: Non-communicable Diseases (NCD), Nutrition and Food Safety (NFS), Access to Medicines and Health Products (MHP), Sensory Functions, Disability and Rehabilitation (SDR), NCD Management-Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (MND), Staff Health and Wellbeing (SHW), Health Product Policy and Standards (HPS), Health Promotion and Wellbeing (HPW), and the Global Tuberculosis Programme (GTB), as well as with UN organizations and NGOs. Prior to 2010, the work was done in collaboration with scientific research institutes.
