Indus Hospital has entered into a strategic partnership with IRD, a non-profit research and service organization committed to saving lives through improvements in global health. IRD seeks to create opportunities for scientists and social entrepreneurs that maximize the impact of health interventions in low-income communities. Indus Hospital and IRD have established the joint Indus Hospital Research Center, IHRC for short, focussed on 4 areas.

The Center for Community Development (CCD) implements programs to help improve health and increase economic opportunities for low-income households. CCD is collaborating with Partners in Health to design and implement the Community Outreach Program at the Indus Hospital. Learn more about the Community Outreach Program.

The Center for Injection Safety works to prevent the reuse of needles and syringes in health care settings, the driving force behind the Hepatitis C and B epidemics in Pakistan. CIS has trained over 700 paramedical staff and administrators at 25 major hospitals and has conducted advocacy workshops for general medical practitioners in over 10 cities. CIS partners include Becton Dickinson and the Infectious Diseases Society of Pakistan for advocacy and training, and the Safe Injection Global Network (SIGN) at the World Health Organization for research.
