Senior🎓
Top SchoolShurajit Dutta is a Health Information Systems adviser with 11 years’ experience designing, implementing and strengthening national HIS, DHIS2 deployments and CRVS systems across Asia, the Pacific and the English Caribbean. He leads capacity-building initiatives—creating template-based DHIS2 training, running the Level 1 DHIS2 Academy and delivering in-person and online curricula—to convert technical strategy into durable local skills. His background at WHO and as principal manager of a public–private consulting firm gives him hands-on experience in emergency information management, survey design, database administration and multi-stakeholder program coordination with partners like WHO, PAHO, GAVI and Global Fund. Unusually for an adviser, he combines technical back-end DHIS2 configuration with adult-learning expertise, enabling him to bridge policy, practice and workforce development effectively.
