And finally, it engages with the

private healthcare sector by building

capacity on standardized care, as well

as sharing data with the government to

ensuring community voices are heard in

development dialogues,’ says Dr. Raghavan.

A ten-year private sector intervention

to promote prevention of mother-to-child

transmission in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil

Nadu and Maharashtra has been adopted

by the Government of India to be scaled

up across the Indian private health sector.

It also pioneered the first e-learning course

to train public health personnel in research

based system, m-Maitri, helps impart

health literacy and gather feedback from

pregnant women diagnosed with HIV.

Such innovations have led this remarkable

organization to achieve real impact.
