The Union is delighted to announce the appointment of Nidhi Bansal as the Country Director for The Union India Office.
Nidhi joins The Union at a very important time in not only the organisation’s journey towards improving lung health, but also in India’s accelerated trajectory towards ending tuberculosis (TB).
Nidhi said: “I am delighted to have been appointed to lead such a high-achieving and well-respected team. I look forward to supporting The Union to accomplish future successes in India and achieving a healthier world for all, free of TB and lung disease.”
Nidhi has worked extensively in India on pressing social development challenges and in several countries across Asia, Africa and North America on issues spanning health, education, livelihoods and humanitarian response. She joins The Union from her previous role as Director, Program Quality and Impact with CARE, Canada.
With 30 years of experience, Nidhi has had the unique opportunity of working within diverse socio-economic contexts, in organisations of differing scales and across management levels. Setting up and managing country offices is Nidhi’s speciality.
Prof Guy Marks, Interim Executive Director and President of The Union, said: “Under Nidhi’s leadership, I’m confident The Union will continue to contribute effectively and efficiently towards India’s goals of improving lung health and ending catastrophic epidemics like TB.”
