The primary goal of research at IPH Bengaluru is to strengthen the Indian health system by generating evidence on what works, for whom and why. From governance and analysis of policies to working with rural or urban communities our research projects span the entire spectrum of the public health system. Our research is at the cutting edge of global public health using innovative approaches such as health in all policies (HiAP) and methodologies such as Participatory Action Research and Theory Driven Inquiries.
