HAP School of Health Research (HSHR)
HAP School of Health Research (HSHR) is a HAP initiative started in honour of its founder-chairman, Professor C R Soman. Prof. Soman had a passion for both teaching and research. A series of workshops on research methodology were conducted under his leadership in many health institutions in India. HSHR continues this tradition. Our goal is to train the younger generation of teachers and researchers in health, including doctors, nurses and other health workers, so that they are capable of undertaking independent research on the problems facing the state.
