About Us

The Centre for Health Innovation and Policy (CHIP) Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in India, committed to advancing public health through research, innovation, and evidence-based policy. Established under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, the foundation operates as an autonomous entity guided by a multidisciplinary Scientific Advisory Committee.

At CHIP Foundation, we bring together science, policy, and community engagement to address some of the most pressing health challenges—particularly in cancer prevention, tobacco control, and survivorship.

Who We Are

We are a collective of public health experts, researchers, clinicians, and policy advocates working at the intersection of health innovation, research, and policy implementation. Our work is driven by the belief that sustainable health outcomes require collaboration across disciplines and sectors.

We aim to bridge the gap between research and real-world impact, translating scientific knowledge into actionable strategies that improve population health.
