System Innovation Fellows for Communicable Diseases

At the Asian School of Government, we believe in the power of System Innovation to tackle the complex challenges posed by commicable diseases. Our fellowship program brings together diverse teams of students, researchers, practitioners, and academics from various disciplines to drive systemic change.
