Background
World Health Partners (WHP) is a non-profit organization mandated to deliver holistic healthcare to underserved communities by innovatively leveraging available resources more efficiently. Evidence-based management and technological solutions that are sophisticated to work in extremely low-resource settings are the hallmarks of WHP’s programming strategy. WHP believes that it is unconscionable to divide resources on ideological basis—such as public and private sectors—since low resource settings mandate a focus on collectivizing all existing resources to achieve better outcomes.
WHP is best known for its programs focused on early detection and treatment of tuberculosis in urban and rural settings supported by community-based activities to ensure prevention. WHP currently operates its projects in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat and Delhi.
