IIPH and Divi’s Foundation Partner to Enhance Child Health Systems
Two organizations, IIPH-Hyderabad and Divi’s Foundation, are teaming up to help kids who might be having trouble with their development.
They signed an agreement to work together to find these children early and give them the help they need.
This partnership is also training special teams in different towns in Telangana to be better at spotting and helping children with development problems.
They held a training workshop where these teams learned how to check kids, plan their care, and work with parents.
The goal is to make sure every child gets the right support to grow up healthy and happy.
IIPH-Hyderabad and Divi’s Foundation for Gifted Children have signed an MoU to improve child health and development systems.
The partnership focuses on the early identification, assessment, and intervention for children with developmental delays and neurodevelopmental disorders.
A capacity-building program for District Early Intervention Centre (DEIC) teams in Telangana has been launched.
An immersive workshop trained DEIC professionals from Kothagudem, Asifabad, and Bhupalpally districts on October 29-30.
