Migration Health Research Area/Expertise
I possess strong interest and motivation towards migration health research. Along with the researchers based in the UK, I have published three migrant health-related scientific peer-reviewed papers (one original research, one brief report, and one review). I am a lead author in two of them. In addition, I am one of the key members to envisage 'Migrant workers' health research consortium' based in Liverpool John Moores University, UK. I have voluntarily co-ordinated this consortium since its inception in 2016. The Associated Press (AP) has quoted me and my first-authored publication regarding sudden cardiac deaths of South Asian migrant workers in the Gulf countries (link: https://apnews.com/28087f4580be4501ac4d2a228f278297/soaring-rate-nepalis-seeking-jobs-abroad-come-home-dead). This news story has subsequently gained worldwide media attention in December 2016 which was nicely highlighted by research blog of Bournemouth University where other two authors are based at (link: http://blogs.bournemouth.ac.uk/research/2016/12/23/worldwide-media-coverage-bu-co-authored-paper/). I am involved in three migrant health-related research as a Co-Principal Investigator. First one is a qualitative study on "mental health risk factors in Nepalese labour migrant workers and their perceptions of potential elements on mental health needed in pre-departure training" (August-November 2017) funded by Bournemouth University. The second one is mixed method study "Health vulnerabilities of cross-border migrants from Nepal" (August 2017-January 2018) funded by International Organization for Migration (IOM) Nepal, and the current project is "Mental health risk of female spouses of Nepalese migrant workers" funded by Bournemouth University, UK.
