SATHI conducts health policy and systems research across its three key work areas i.e. strengthening public health system, community action for improving child nutrition, and social accountability of the private healthcare sector. Its dedicated research team works in tandem with the action team, to ensure that research is relevant to issues emerging from community action and advocacy activities, and the work flows seamlessly across the teams. Thus, research focuses on issues arising from action, and research findings feed into further advocacy and action.
SATHI research explores and assesses the health system’s performance in implementing programs, and the impact of health policies at the field level. It provides inputs to refine community action, strengthen policy advocacy, and contributes to improving the design and implementation of health programs and policies. Our research employs relevant and novel, sometimes less known research methods and techniques such as the witness seminars – a technique little used in LMICs until now.
Our research-based knowledge products reach out to a wide and diverse reader-base in the form of popular media articles, short booklets in vernacular language, research briefs, policy briefs, reports, journal articles and papers.
