HAIN was established in 1985 to serve the information and research needs of community-based health programs (CBHPs) in the Philippines. These CBHPs were established as an alternative health system for marginalized rural and urban communities.
HAIN has developed training modules on various health issues. To date, HAIN maintains a resource center, conducts training, education activities and research throughout the country.
HAIN’s advocacy for people’s health is strengthened by its wide network of local and international agencies working in health and health related concerns.
