Synopsis

Nepal Public Health Foundation (NPHF) was established in April 2010 by a group of public health specialists and activists as an independent, autonomous, non-political, and non-profit organisation. It was founded with the mission of ensuring civil society's pro-active participation in public health via coordinated public health action, research, and policy dialogue for health development, particularly of the socioeconomically marginalised population. NPHF aims to prioritise public health action and research areas and facilitate interventions in collaboration with national and international partnerships, with special emphasis on building community capacity for healthcare. Through high-quality research, NPHF is committed to strengthening the health system by generating quality evidence for the policy formulation process. Health policy and system research, social determinants of health, nutrition, maternal, child, and sexual and reproductive health are its major focus areas. Since its inception, NPHF has taken initiatives to advocate for the relevant public health issues at the national and regional levels. Besides, it has established good linkages with academic institutions, civil society, and different non-governmental organisations.
