Sonak Pastakia's research focuses on improving access to and delivery of chronic disease care—especially diabetes, hypertension, and HIV-related comorbidities—in low-resource settings, particularly western Kenya and other parts of Africa, as well as underserved populations in the United States. Work spans implementation science, cost-effectiveness analysis, and community-based care models such as microfinance-linked group medical visits and peer support programs. The research also examines structural barriers like medication access, food insecurity, and health system disruptions during crises.
