Public
Health Foundation of India, is a public private initiative that
has collaboratively evolved through consultations with multiple constituencies
including Indian and international academia, state and central governments,
multi & bi-lateral agencies and civil society groups. PHFI is a response to
redress the limited institutional capacity in India for strengthening training,
research and policy development in the area of Public Health.
Structured as an independent
foundation, PHFI adopts a broad, integrative approach to public health, tailoring
its endeavours to Indian conditions and bearing relevance to countries facing
similar challenges and concerns. The PHFI focuses on broad dimensions of public
health that encompass promotive, preventive and therapeutic services, many of
which are frequently lost sight of in policy planning as well as in popular
understanding.
The Prime Minister of India, Dr.
Manmohan Singh, launched PHFI on March 28, 2006 at New Delhi. PHFI recognizes
the fact that meeting the shortfall of health professionals is imperative to 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.
