India Health Action Trust (IHAT) works towards reducing inequities by developing comprehensive and sustainable programs to improve population health. IHAT works closely with the Government of India and state governments to achieve public health goals. IHAT’s work is focused in areas of prevention and control of HIV and Tuberculosis, in achieving significant improvements in Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health, improved Nutrition among mothers and children, and strengthening health systems. IHAT’s work is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
IHAT has set up multiple Technical Support Units (TSU) with the Governments of Uttar Pradesh, and an Innovation Hub in Madhya Pradesh to provide techno-managerial assistance and coordinate with the Governments, Non-Government Agencies, Academic Institutions and Communities.
The Madhya Pradesh Innovation Hub (MPIH) was instituted in 2019 pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between National Health Mission, Government of Madhya Pradesh (NHM MP) and India Health Action Trust (IHAT). The hub identifies health challenges and designs interventions to improve population health outcomes in the state pertaining to Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH), Tuberculosis, HIV / AIDS, Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) and health system strengthening.
The innovation hub activities are based on program science framework that uses adaptive responses to enable public health programs to continuously and systematically examine processes, outputs and outcomes, explore areas that required further understanding, implement and evaluate new interventions and then use the knowledge gained to further re-design and develop programs and/or conduct further embedded research. The hub works closely with the Government of Madhya Pradesh to identify public health priorities in the state and provides research support in answering questions emerging from the field in relation to identified priorities. It supports the government in testing novel ideas and interventions while also supporting and translating global and national best practices into action-plans for the state. The hub plays the role of a facilitator for implementing public health interventions at scale in the state.
