The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP), India’s premier life sciences innovation hub, has partnered with the Department of Health & Family Welfare, Government of Nagaland, to strengthen the state’s public health system through innovative, indigenous health technologies.
The announcement was made at the IDSP Conference Hall in Kohima by Dr. Taslimarif Saiyed, C-CAMP Director & CEO, and Anoop Khinchi, Commissioner & Secretary, Health & Family Welfare, in the presence of senior officials from the Health Department.
Anoop Khinchi said, “The objectives of this partnership include introducing and implementing innovative technologies for improving health outcomes. Our vision is long-term — to build a resilient, inclusive, and innovation-driven health system that ensures equitable access to quality care for every citizen of the state.”
Dr. Saiyed added, “This MoU provides a structured path to work with the state and build evidence of impact. At C-CAMP, we have impacted 19 states, trained over 5,000 healthcare workers, and reached more than 6 lakh lives. We look forward to creating an impact for the people of Nagaland.”
C-CAMP has previously supported Nagaland by establishing two oxygen-supported hospital facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic: a 50-bedded facility at Dimapur District Hospital and a 39-bedded facility at Imkongliba Memorial District Hospital, Mokokchung.
Under the MoU, both partners will introduce state-specific health technologies, strengthen healthcare infrastructure, enhance clinical capacity, and foster collaboration between innovators, clinicians, and health workers. Immediate initiatives will target maternal and child health, non-communicable diseases, and other priority public health areas.
