AI SAROSH (Artificial Intelligence for Sexual and Reproductive Health for South Asia Hub) is a project funded by the Canadian International Development Research Center (IDRC) under the Artificial Intelligence for Global Health (AI4GH) initiative. The hub focuses on reducing the sexual and reproductive health burden in South Asia by developing AI-driven solutions for early detection, prevention, and intervention. It is connected to AI hubs across Africa, Latin America, and MENA.
PHC Global, in partnership with the Nepal-based Group for Technical Assistance (GTA) Foundation, serves as IDRC’s Secretariat in South Asia. iSprint, as the digital technologies division within PHC Global, leads the digital and AI components. Our role includes:
Technical Leadership in Artificial Intelligence
