Piramal Swasthya to partner Rockefeller Foundation

The Piramal Swasthya Management and Research Institute, Hyderabad, has formalized a partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation to support the Indian government’s efforts toward Universal Health Coverage. The partnership will leverage digital technology to reduce preventable deaths amongst mothers and children living in aspirational districts and tribal areas. Piramal Swasthya is the primary healthcare initiative from the Piramal Foundation.

Teams from both organizations will work with the government to build primary health innovations and scale them through policy interventions. The partnership will strengthen healthcare systems by integrating technologies, such as artificial intelligence for evidence-based decision making. The idea is to save maternal and child deaths by providing appropriate and timely insights and focused interventions. The partnership focuses on five of the 25 aspirational districts that are mentored by NITI Aayog. They are also part of the 117 aspirational districts, identified by the Indian government as having urgent health and development needs. Many residents of these districts are members of tribal populations, who have significantly worse health outcomes than non-tribal populations.
