FROM THE DESK

Our Perspective

Project Udaan in Rajasthan aims to reduce teenage pregnancy and one of the key strategies is to improve access to contraceptives. Udaan has been working with NHM Rajasthan for effective roll-out of injectable contraceptive (Antara) services. Therefore, Rajasthan receiving an award by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare at the National Family Planning Summit, 2022 for effectively expanding the basket of contraceptive choices by making Antara services available upto the health sub-centres is a proud moment for the project.

Vice President, Social & Economic Empowerment

Decision Support System (DSS), an innovative solution for frontline health workers and winner of the 5th Commonwealth Digital Health Awards, is a fitting example of how NIPI is catalysing innovations for India’s National Health Mission. This solution shall be a game changer for bolstering primary healthcare by ensuring access to evidence-based management by health providers.

The tireless efforts in developing this innovative solution by the NIPI team at the state and national level and constant guidance and support by the donor- Government of Norway and IPE Global’s senior management deserves a special mention.
