Institute of Social Medicine

The Institute of Social Medicine is a research and academic organization focused on understanding how social factors—such as income, education, housing, and community environments—affect health and healthcare outcomes. It examines how societal conditions influence the distribution of diseases, access to medical services, and overall well-being. By studying these connections, the institute aims to inform policies and practices that promote health equity, improve public health strategies, and address social determinants that impact individual and population health.
