As a basic human right, the concept of health for all is undergoing significant changes, mainly because of technology. Technology and research have helped to find cures for almost all diseases and simultaneously promote healthy living. We help clients adapt to new realities in the health sector. Our research endeavors to find solutions that work for everybody and help achieve SDG 3. We focus on public health training, disease prevention, and control, mother and child health, and health system strengthening.

In the context of social and behavioral change for health (SBCH), we work on developing dynamic and multidisciplinary approaches to promote positive health behaviors and improve health outcomes at the individual, community, and societal levels. We believe that individuals’ behaviors and the social and cultural contexts in which they occur play a significant role in shaping health outcomes. We raise awareness, provide information, and influence attitudes and beliefs to motivate individuals to adopt healthier behaviors.
