CEO Speaks

A Decade Built Together

Dr. Laxmikant Palo
Dr. Laxmikant Palo, Ph.D.
CEO, PPHF

Ten years ago, we started with one belief: that lasting change in health begins inside communities, not outside them.

Everything we've built since — every milestone, every life reached — belongs as much to them as to us: frontline health workers, government partners, researchers, donors, and the countless people who chose to stand with this work.

We mark this decade with gratitude. As we enter the next, we do so with renewed resolve. Public health is changing rapidly, and so must we — with deeper partnerships, stronger systems, bolder innovation, and one unwavering commitment: ensuring that every person has the opportunity to live a healthier and more dignified life.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. The best of PPHF is still ahead.

2016 — 2025

A Decade of Progress

What we did, and why it mattered — one milestone at a time.

2016

PPHF Founded — a locally driven public health and well-being platform, anchoring equitable access to better health through solutions designed and led by communities themselves.

2016–17

Community Mobilization — frontline health workers trained on diabetes and hypertension through the Positive Deviance approach, building peer support, psychosocial care and treatment adherence.

2017–18

NCD Model Demonstration — a comprehensive prevention-to-care model proved the concept of embedding behaviour change, screening, health-worker training and patient peer groups within public health systems.

2018–19

Policy Translation — NCD field learning became an implementation toolbox, policy briefs and technical convenings, moving PPHF from programme delivery to evidence-to-policy influence.

2019–20

Rebranding as PPHF — People to People Health Foundation sharpened its institutional identity around a clear promise: "Catalyzing change for wellbeing."

2020–21

COVID-19 & "Together for Rare" — emergency response sharpened agility in supporting health facilities and vulnerable groups, while the rare-disease platform convened governments, policymakers and partners.

2021–22

Digital Transformation — post-pandemic digital adoption became integral to improving health-service delivery and reducing access barriers for last-mile communities.

2022–23

Multi-State Expansion — a comprehensive primary healthcare platform reached over 9 lakh people across NCDs, women/adolescent/child health, nutrition, environmental health and emergency response.

2023–24

AI-Enabled Health Systems — innovative AI-based digital technologies deployed within healthcare infrastructure to improve accessibility.

2024–25

Strategy 2030 Launch — five thematic priorities set to reach 30M lives impacted and 5M people annually, driven by Technology, Teamwork & Trust.

Catalysing Change 2036

The Next Decade Starts Here

PPHF@10 is more than a celebration of what we've achieved. It is the beginning of our next chapter — one that builds on ten years of learning to create even greater impact through innovation, partnerships, evidence and stronger health systems.

Catalysing Change 2036 is PPHF's commitment to reach millions more Indians with better health — by expanding into new geographies, deepening digital health integration, sharpening focus on equity for underserved communities, and forging new partnerships.

It builds on a decade of evidence-led work to define a more connected, technology-enabled and equity-driven path for India's health and well-being through 2036.

The first decade proved what is possible. The next decade is about making it possible for millions more.
