What we do

Welcome to Public Health Division, where our commitment to public health is unwavering. At the core of our initiatives lies a dedication to safeguarding individuals, adolescents and children through comprehensive programs addressing critical issues such as tobacco control, adolescent health, community health, etc.

Our flagship projects, including Tobacco Free Educational Institutions (ToFEI), School Health & Wellness Program (SHWP), Tobacco Free Village (TfV) and implementation of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA), reflect our proactive approach in creating a healthier society. These initiatives go beyond traditional frameworks, incorporating high-impact strategies that not only educate but also inspire behavioural change.

In our pursuit of excellence, Sambandh has developed Weekly Iron Follic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) as part of the School Health & Wellness Program, ensuring the nutritional well-being of young minds. This holistic methodology is recognized as one of the best practices in the field, emphasizing a blend of high-impact behavioural change thinking and cutting-edge digital technology.

At Sambandh Health Foundation, we believe in outcomes that matter. Our projects are designed not just to meet but exceed expectations, leaving a lasting impact on the communities we serve. Join us on this journey toward a healthier, more informed society, where our innovative practices and unwavering commitment redefine the standards of public health.

Our Method: Digital Program Implementation (DPI)

Sambandh Health Foundation delivers public health programs using a unique, scalable approach called Digital Program Implementation (DPI). DPI enables the last-mile delivery in public health programs and this is — fast, scalable and cost-effective.

At the heart of DPI is a combination of:

Behavioural science for driving real action through nudges, storytelling and identity cues
Real-time monitoring using dashboards and automated data capture
Data analytics to identify gaps and focus support where it matters
Train-Learn with a focus on learning and building capacity efficiently
Communication
Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Through DPI, SHF partnered with Governments of various states for implementation of national programs:

ToFEI in over 2.5+ lacs schools
Drugs Free Educational Institutions in Colleges
SHWP & Weekly Iron Folic Acid Supplementation in 3,000 schools Meghalaya
COTPA Enforcement in two states
Tobacco-Free Villages (TfV) in 1300+ villages

DPI has helped us achieve top-tier impact benchmarks — with verified activity completion, behavioural change and sustained program ownership, all at a fraction of implementation costs.
