Who We Are

Centre for Injury Prevention and Research, Bangladesh (CIPRB) is a leading public health research and implementation organisation dedicated to saving lives and improving wellbeing. The landmark Bangladesh Health and Injury Survey (BHIS 2005), the largest community-based injury survey conducted in any low- and middle-income country, revealed the overwhelming burden of injuries as a major cause of death and disability.

"The magnitude of injury explored steered researchers towards an institutional response, establishing CIPRB on 6 February 2005 to pioneer community-level safety and public health transformation."

The organisation successfully implemented Prevention of Child Injuries through Social Intervention and Education (PRECISE), which stands as the world’s largest community trial on child injury prevention.

Pioneering community-based approaches such as Anchal and SwimSafe have not only transformed local community safety in Bangladesh but have also achieved global recognition, becoming formally incorporated into international guidance on drowning prevention.

While drowning prevention remains a cornerstone of CIPRB’s mission, the organisation has strategically expanded its scope to address a comprehensive range of critical public health priorities.
