INCLEN is dedicated to improving the health of disadvantaged populations, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, by promoting equitable healthcare based on the best evidence of effectiveness and the efficient use of resources.
At national level, the INCLEN units work closely with the Government of India and State Governments. INCLEN has formal MOU with Indian Council of Medical Research, and Government of Haryana. INCLEN has also strong and active linkages with several national and international universities, research organizations and professional associations.
INCLEN has also established a demographic, development, health and environmental surveillance site (DDESS) - SOMAARTH (Synergizing Economic Development and Comprehensive Health) in Palwal district of Haryana, about 80 km from Delhi. SOMAARTH DESS site is comprised of 51 villages with about 200,000 populations. Several community based projects are underway in this DESS site.
The Data Management Unit at INCLEN Executive Office has a senior program officer, one program officer, one junior statistician and two data assistants. INCLEN has state of art computing facilities with a large number of computers, two dedicated servers, lease lines for high speed internet connectivity both in Delhi office in SOMAARTH DDESS, and data management software, including statistical analysis software (STATA 12.0 SE). INCLEN has moved in to paperless data collection approach for the last 1.5 years. INCLEN has developed in-house software for analysis of qualitative data ââ¬âIQ-DAS (INCLEN Qualitative Data Analysis Software) based on our experience of last 18 years. All qualitative data is now analyzed using this software. INCLEN has now added a spatial epidemiology data analytic capability with a program officer in medical geography.
INCLEN has successfully completed four different research studies recently viz., determinants of under nutrition in children (in 6 states of India); assessing the cold chain system (in Kerala, Gujarat and Bihar states of India covering 27 districts and all cold chain points) and Neuro-developmental disabilities (NDDs) among children (in 5 zones across 10 states of India).
