The Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) was conceptualized as a response to growing concern over the emerging public health challenges in India. It recognizes the fact that meeting the shortfall of health professionals is imperative for a sustained and holistic response to the public health concerns in the country, which in turn requires health care to be addressed not only from the scientific perspective of what works, but also from the social perspective of who needs it the most. The PHFI is working towards building public health capacity by: a) Establishing eight new institutes of public health in India; b) Establishing strong national networks and international partnerships for research; c) Generating policy recommendations and developing vigorous advocacy platform; d) Assisting the growth of existing public health training institutions; e) Establishing various Centers of Excellence in the arena of public health including, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, health systems, access to medicines, etc.
