Institute of Health Management, Pachod (IHMP)

Since its inception, the Institute of Health Management, Pachod (IHMP) has been implementing innovative public health programs with a strong focus on addressing the most pressing health concerns of marginalized and disadvantaged communities in India. The Institute’s primary focus during the last 15 years has been on safeguarding and empowering vulnerable adolescent girls living in rural and urban slum communities. Its services have resulted in a significant impact such as measurable empowerment of adolescent girls, delay at the age of marriage and first pregnancy, reduction in maternal and child mortality and in the prevalence of low birth weight babies.
