IRD’s mission is to improve millions of vulnerable lives by developing scalable health solutions rooted in evidence.
IRD is driven by a clear vision: a world where the most underserved, at-risk, and in-need populations experience improved physical, mental, and social well-being. From crowded urban settlements to remote rural communities, our work focuses on closing health gaps that persist due to inequity, weak systems, and limited access to quality care.

how we work
Our approach is simple, we meet people where they are- ensure care continues- treat each life with dignity.
Since 2004, IRD has worked directly with communities across Pakistan to support vulnerable people who struggle to access basic healthcare-mothers, children, young people, and the elderly.
Collaboration is central to our approach. We work alongside communities, governments, private providers, universities, and non-governmental organizations, combining technical expertise with local knowledge to deliver results at scale.
