Organon Announces Two Her Health Grants in India to Support Adolescent Girls’ Health in Bihar and Women’s Contraceptive Access in Uttar Pradesh
Organon has partnered with PSI India and Ipas Development Foundation to improve adolescent health in Bihar and contraceptive access in Uttar Pradesh. These grants aim to address significant unmet needs in reproductive health and family planning in India.
Why it matters
Targeted healthcare interventions are critical for addressing high rates of unintended pregnancies and improving maternal health outcomes in underserved regions.
Organon, a global healthcare company, has signed agreements with two 2026 Her Health Grant recipients: Population Services International India (PSI India) and Ipas Development Foundation (IDF), supporting adolescent health in Bihar and contraceptive access in Uttar Pradesh.
Access to accurate information and contraceptive choice remains a critical unmet need for women and girls in India. Per the National Family Health Survey-6 (2023–2024), 6.7% of girls aged 15–19 were already mothers or pregnant, and in Uttar Pradesh, more than one in three pregnancies among adolescents and young women are unintended (UDAYA Survey).
In Bihar, PSI India’s AWESOMM_HER program will reach adolescent girls across five districts (Purnia, Katihar, Kishanganj, Araria and Gaya) with nutritional, menstrual and mental health support via an AI-enabled platform.
