Overview
Vadu Rural Health Program, KEM Hospital Research Centre Pune has a rich tradition in health care and development being in the forefront of needs-based, issue-driven research over almost 35 years. During the decades of 1980 and 1990 the research at Vadu focused on mother and child with epidemiological and social science research exploring low birth weight, child survival, maternal mortality, safe abortion and domestic violence. The research portfolio has ever since expanded to include adult health and aging, non-communicable and communicable diseases and to clinical trials in recent years. It started with establishment of Health and Demographic Surveillance System Vadu has struck research alliances with Regional, National and International Organizations. The iSHARE (www.indepth-ishare.org
An exciting array of Translational Research (G2P studies) is ongoing at Vadu in collaboration with Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology, GOI from both Ayurvedic and disease perspective. Vadu has extensively contributed to Project Ayurgenomics: Integration of Ayurveda to Genomics for field based research. 10000 volunteers from Vadu area participated in this study. Vadu has also developed a detailed phenotyping (DP) unit and molecular biology laboratory for primary investigations. The DP unit includes State of the art labs for heart rate variability testing, spirometry, skin testing, anthropometry and gustatory testing. Probably the only molecular biology lab in rural area, our lab is well equipped for RNA and DNA isolation and detection besides a dedicated fully equipped section for the clinical trials laboratory work.
Today's strength of Vadu is its ability to integrate research among and rational medical service delivery to the populations with support from the community and with capacity building of this very community in conducting community or hospital based research. Vadu strives to address its research needs through partnerships and collaborations with national and international institutions guided by principles of interdependence, equality, technology transfer and joint data ownership as also authorship. Above all, we believe in ethics and practice in conducting utmost ethical research.
We independently track vital events including births, deaths, causes of death, pregnancy outcome, migrations and marital status changes and serves to monitor trends in fertility and mortality inter alia over time.
The word "Demographic Surveillance" means to keep close track of the population dynamics. Vadu HDSS deals with keeping track of health issues and demographic changes in Vadu rural health program (VRHP) area. It is one of the most promising projects of National relevance that aims at establishing a quasi-experimental intervention research setting with objectives.
