KEM Hospital Research Centre (KEMHRC), Pune, is a sister concern of the KEM Hospital, Pune, and has been functioning for the last 25 years. Several national, as well as international research projects, have been conducted and completed efficiently by the centre. Many sensitive topics such as violence against women, abortion, sexual behaviour in teenagers, adolescents’ reproductive and sexual needs, contraceptive practices etc. have been dealt with by researchers successfully.
In 1996, understanding the importance of the sexuality needs of society, KEM Hospital, Pune started clinical services by setting up a sexual health clinic for people when the topic of sexuality was still taboo. The clinic deals with sexual dysfunction in males and females, sexual issues related to infertility, adolescent sexual health issues, sexual disorders, etc.

The Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine at the Charité Berlin has been pioneering Primary Prevention as an approach to counter sexual violence. In over 25 years of treatment experience, the institute has collected huge amounts of relevant data about sexual offenders. Collecting and applying this knowledge generated a unique and highly specialized expertise in the field of primary prevention of sexual violence.
In 2005 the Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine started the “Prevention Project Dunkelfeld” which has now developed into a nationwide network of outpatient clinics providing treatment for self-identifying and help-seeking paedophiles and hebephiles outside of the legal system. It aims to help these men to guarantee continuous sexual self-control to prevent child sexual abuse and the consumption of child sexual abuse images (CSAI; so-called “child pornography”).
