INTRODUCTION
Merrygold Health Network (MGHN), an initiative by Hindustan Latex Family Planning Promotion Trust (HLFPPT), is India’s largest Social Franchising Model which aims at delivering quality and affordable reproductive child health (RCH) and family planning (FP) Services by providing access to quality healthcare Services at affordable price. MGHN has 500+ network clinics across Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Among these entire network almost 70 percent facilities are located in the urban areas.
The ultimate goal of the network operations is to make significant contribution towards reduction of Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), unwanted pregnancies and addressing unmet need for contraception.
All the health facilities engaged with the social franchise model work with the objective of providing high quality and affordable RCH and FP Services through an inclusive model which can also cater to the poor and vulnerable sections of the society at an affordable price through creation of an economically sustainable, scalable and innovative social franchising model.
