Sonak D. Pastakia's research focuses on managing chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension in low-resource settings, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (notably rural Kenya and Tanzania). His work examines how these conditions intersect with HIV care, and explores practical strategies such as peer-based medication delivery, group medical visits, and integrated care models to improve treatment access and adherence in underserved communities. Much of the research addresses health system barriers, including stigma, limited diagnostic access, and socioeconomic challenges affecting patient care.
Publication output peaked around 2018 with 8 papers but has slowed considerably since 2020, with several years of no recorded output and only sporadic publications through 2024-2026.
