Innovations for Community Health

MISSION & VISION: InnovationsCH, an independent Philippine-based implementation public health NGO, envisions to reform health markets and health systems in the developing world for the benefit of the people through innovation and delivery of high impact interventions. We will achieve this through our mission of reforming health markets and public health systems in the developing world by delivering high impact and sustainable innovations, at scale. OUR UNIQUE APPROACH: InnovationsCH is uniquely positioned to harness public-private partnerships through innovations in healthcare systems delivery and market reforms. In fragmented healthcare systems such as in the Philippines, a notable portion of socioeconomically disadvantaged Filipinos still go to private providers thinking that they will receive better care. But in reality, they don't usually do. With our innovations, we empower these stakeholders to deliver quality accessible healthcare. Also, we couple a strong implementation research component to generate evidence to help transition pilots to full scale-ups.
