Project Brief
The India Primary Health Care Support Initiative (IPSI), led by Johns Hopkins University with AIIMS Delhi as its key India partner, aims to strengthen primary health care in three Indian districts: Bhavnagar in Gujarat, Kalahandi in Odisha, and West Garo Hills in Meghalaya. PHC in India has struggled with fragmentation, with private providers dominating outpatient care and limited promotive health services. Major reforms under the National Health Mission and Ayushman Bharat have expanded PHC, particularly with Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) focusing on comprehensive care, essential services, and preventive care. IPSI supports HWCs in delivering improved, accessible PHC nationwide.
The India Primary Healthcare Support Initiative (IPSI) in West Garo Hills, Meghalaya, aims to improve the Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC) system by establishing a cycle of “demonstration, measurement, and recognition.” Partnering with the Indian Institute of Public Health Shillong (IIPHS) and the Public Health Foundation of India(PHFI), this initiative supports resource mobilization for effective primary care delivery. The project has three primary objectives: developing and implementing a District Implementation Plan, and strengthening local capacity.
