National Health Innovation Portal is being launched to serve as a platform in the public domain to facilitate collection and dissemination of good practices and innovations that are found to be replicable. Reportedly, this portal would serve as a gateway for integrating innovations into mainstream healthcare and has the potential to bring about  transformative improvements in healthcare delivery by accelerating the uptake of successful innovations of products, processes and programmes.

It is an attempt to pool-in and showcase innovative programmes designs, practices, technology solutions and products across the public and private healthcare sector of India. These solutions have either demonstrated abilities to address health systems challenges in specific contexts or hold a promise for future. This platform is expected to act as an inspiration to health entrepreneurs as well as provide newer programme designs, devices and approaches to cover those in greatest need of healthcare.
