IRHDTC is a service oriented organization established in 1996. After working for almost 15 years in the health sector development, in 2011, IRHDTC registered as a non-governmental organization at the Social Welfare Council Nepal.

We specifically work to provide technical assistance to strengthen health systems. IRHDTC areas of expertise are designing health programs, conducting research, carrying out evidence based advocacy, designing and developing training packages and also conducting technical trainings focusing on maternal and child health, family planning, HIV/AIDS, behavior change communication and adult learning model. Further, IRHDTC also focuses on policy analysis, strategic planning, and program management and evaluation. 

For the last 25 years, we have designed and implemented innovative health projects that are easy to scale-up and that focus on improving service delivery mechanism and behavior change in low-income settings. Even though we have worked and supported several health sector initiatives, our primary strength is designing and delivering training programs and packages. We specialize in capacity building and skills enhancement of human resources including doctors, nurses, health assistants, community health workers, who directly or indirectly contribute to the health of Nepali citizens. IRHDTC has proven its excellence in developing human resources for health sector through specially catered trainings primarily in the areas of child and maternal health, nutrition, epidemiology of common diseases, hygiene, sanitation and environmental health, HIV/AIDS, family planning and reproductive health, behavior change communication, monitoring and evaluation and logistics management. Our trainings focus on equipping individuals both the health workers, volunteers and citizens with understanding, skills, and knowledge-base that enable them to perform to the highest standards. Further, our expertise specifically lies on conducting surveys, after training follow up studies, health system research (public-private partnership, program evaluation) and operational studies including rapid assessment surveys and ethnographic/qualitative studies. Based on the research outcomes, we have designed and implemented programs specifically targeting the gaps. Further our research study findings have enabled us to conduct evidence-based advocacy with the government.
