Innovators In Health

Celebrating 16 years of Innovators in Health! On 10 April 2026, we marked our Foundation Day—reflecting on a journey of community, compassion, and care. From humble beginnings to impacting so many lives, we move forward towards healthier, stronger communities.

This World Health Day, we reaffirm our commitment to bringing quality, accessible, & dignified health closer to communities. From doorstep care to strengthening local health systems, our work is rooted in ensuring that no one is left behind. #worldhealthday #lastmilecare

On #WorldTBDay, IIH joined the global call to #EndTB. Across 3 districts in Bihar, teams led awareness drives, school sessions & screening camp, & launched NPOC swab testing in Samastipur. With support from Milk Cooperatives as Ni-kshay Mitra, we strengthen community led TB care

This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the women who form nearly half of our team and the heart of our work. Most of them are local women and ASHA workers who carry the strength, care, and resilience of their communities into their work every day. #WomensDay2026

In every village, every voice matters. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we remind ourselves that healing begins with listening, understanding, and support—bringing care, conversations, and compassion closer to home. #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness

At @IIHIndia, we believe no one should face TB alone. Through active case finding, we reach people in their communities, connect them to care, and stand with them from diagnosis to cure — moving closer to a TB-free future. Watch now- youtu.be/eHr6DNyT9Lg?si…

On 15 Sept 2025 at RB College, Dalsinghsarai, we shared about the #AzimPremjiFoundation Fellowship for female students — opening doors for young women to pursue higher education. Opportunities like these shape brighter futures for girls & communities.

During screenings for hypertension, diabetes & TB in Dalsinghsarai, the community turned care into action — bringing coolers, spreading tarpaulin, serving tea, and urging each other to get tested. A true picture of solidarity and togetherness. #CommunityHealth #socialimpact
