Overview
I am a Pulmonary and Critical Care physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School and the Director of Inpatient Medicine and Critical Care at the global health and social justice non-profit organization, Partners In Health (PIH), where I lead efforts to improve the quality and accessibility of critical care and respiratory care services for poor and marginalized communities worldwide. My clinical practice is primarily in the areas of critical care and procedural medicine.

My research in low- and middle-income countries focuses on critical care health system evaluation and strengthening, chronic respiratory disease diagnosis and management, and medical oxygen ecosystems. My work has identified key gaps in service delivery, informing health policy at the national and global levels.

I also serve as an expert advisor to Ministries of Health and international organizations, including the World Health Organization and the Global Oxygen Alliance.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
