Technical assistance
Apart from the planned project activities, IPH also engages with other activities that complement the vision and the mission of IPH . Such engagements are usually in the form of technical support to help institutions involved in planning, organisation, delivery, reform and evaluation of health care. We have wide experience in working with state and national governments, inter-governmental organisations, aid organisations and the private sector. Through such engagements, IPH contributes to public health capacity building and influencing policy level debates.
