IRD Global

IRD is an active international global health delivery and research organization operating under the names Interactive Research and Development and IRD Global. The organization develops and scales evidence-based health service delivery programs, disease surveillance, clinical research, and health technology solutions, with a particular focus on tuberculosis, maternal and child health, mental health, non-communicable diseases, immunization, and integrated eye care. Rather than a drug-development biotech, IRD functions as an implementation-focused healthcare and health-tech organization that combines service delivery, research, digital tools, health communications, and capacity building. It appears to be headquartered in Singapore and works across multiple countries in Asia and Africa. Its flagship capabilities include open-source digital health platforms, program monitoring systems, and integrated community- and facility-based care models for vulnerable populations.
