Welcome to the Ladakh Institute of Prevention website
The Ladakh Institute for Prevention (LIP) was set up by a group leading citizens who were aware of the potential for health and educational benefits to the local community as well as the possibilities offered for research in Ladakh, one of the highest, and until recently, one of the most isolated, communities in India.
Proposed Ladakh Institute for Research and Public Health Studies
The institute will focus on studies and research in the areas of environmental, occupational, life style related and high altitude diseases and will be based at Dambuchan Leh – Ladakh.
