Indlela

CHIBE Scientific Director Dr. Alison Buttenheim and Associate Director Dr. Harsha Thirumurthy continue to play a role in Indlela, the first-of-its-kind nudge unit they co-founded in 2020 in South Africa.

Indlela@HE²RO is a collaboration between the University of Witwatersrand’s Health Economics and Epidemiology Research Office (HE²RO), CHIBE, the University of Cape Town and Boston University. Indlela is a first-of-its-kind behavioral science unit focused specifically on improving the effectiveness of the public sector in delivering health care and achieving better health outcomes in South Africa and regionally. The group’s focus area is primarily on HIV and will be expanding to tuberculosis and non-communicable disease areas.
