About PHFI:

Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI):

The Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) 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.

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.

12 State Governments have adopted these initiatives which have spread to 10 other countries across South-East Asia and Africa including Ministry of Health, Government of Rwanda. Our CCEBDM program was the 1st across the globe that got International Diabetes Federation recognition, followed by our GDM program. We also got endorsement of AOTA for our Thyroid course. SAFES also gave recognition to both our diabetes and Thyroid courses. Our course in the management of COPD & Asthma has been endorsed by International Primary Respiratory Group (IPCRG).These capacity building models have been published into Lancet, IJEM, Thyroid, IJO and Lung India. We made presentation of this unique capacity building model on various National and International Platforms and won excellence awards in Skill development by all chambers (CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM, PHD) and highest quality award i.e. DL Shah Platinum award by QCI.

We have closely worked with National Health Mission of the states of Kerala, Odisha, MP, Haryana, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur, Gujarat, Uttarakhand and Kolkata Municipal Corporation apart from training Health care professionals nominated from time to time from other states as well. Various PSUs such as NTPC, NHPC etc have also adopted our courses. The Govt. of Madhya Pradesh and Govt of Tripura have made PHFI their Skill Building Partner for training medical officers and other healthcare professionals of the state.

The last few months of lockdown and post lockdown have tested the health care providers worldwide, which has led us to start several new initiatives on an online platform. During this period, the Training Division has created several new capacity building initiatives through online mode. Some of these new initiatives have already been launched and the rest are going to be launched in the coming months.
