Four ways we change how health is reported, understood, and acted on.

Media Advocacy

Communities know their health rights because journalists know how to tell the story.

Health Communication

Accurate, ethical narratives on reproductive, maternal, and child health that reach the people who need them most.

Research & Publications

Evidence that gives journalists, policymakers, and advocates something real to work with.

Training & Capacity Building

Journalists leave our workshops able to report on health with the depth and accuracy the stories deserve.

Community health outreach

What partners and journalists say.

"Before ISMPH's training, I reported health stories the way I was handed them. Now I know what questions to ask, and who is not being held accountable."

Amaka Obi Health Correspondent, Abuja

"ISMPH brings a rigour to health communication in Nigeria that is rare. Their work genuinely moves the needle on how communities understand their rights."

Programme Officer Partner Organisation, Lagos

"The research ISMPH publishes gives us evidence we can actually use in the field. It bridges the gap between data and the people the data is about."
