Every eight minutes, a woman in India dies of cervical cancer.
Not because we don’t know how to prevent it—
But because she never had access to the tools in time.

At PHRII (www.phrii.com), we believe where a woman lives should not determine whether she lives. We work at the intersection of clinical care, research, and capacity building, delivering lifesaving cervical cancer screening, HPV vaccination, and reproductive health services to women and girls in southern India—especially in rural and underserved communities.

From the heart of Mysore to the most remote villages, we’re not just delivering care—we’re building systems that work. Systems that can be studied, strengthened, and scaled across India and the world.

Why PHRII?

Access: We run free walk-in and mobile clinics, meeting women where they are.
Innovation: We’ve pioneered a hub-and-spoke model for cervical cancer prevention, combining home-based HPV self-sampling with same-day diagnosis and treatment at our Cervical Cancer Prevention Center.
Evidence: We conduct cutting-edge implementation research to generate the data India’s public health system needs to scale effective interventions.
Training: We build capacity by training healthcare workers, mentoring students, and empowering government partners to deliver care that lasts beyond any one project or grant.
Mentorship: From high school students to future doctors and public health leaders, we are growing the next generation of changemakers committed to health equity.

Your Support Makes This Possible

Your gift is a direct investment in women’s lives—and in solutions that last.
