Indian Institute of Public Health (IIPH) to come up in Bhubaneswar?
April 25th, 2008
Following is from a news report in Pioneer.
A unit of the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) will be set up at Bhubaneswar. A decision to this effect was taken at a joint high-level meeting between the CM Naveen Patnaik and Chairman of the Foundation Srinath Reddy at the State Secretariat on Thursday. Government will provide all the basic infrastructures for institution.
PHFI aims to influence public health education, research, and policy. The goal is to establish at least five world-class Indian Institutes of Public Health. These Institutes will initially train 1,000-plus professionals a year, with the goal of producing as many as 10,000 graduates. The Association of Schools of Public Health of the U.S. will offer educational and technical assistance.
The Foundation will bolster existing schools of public health by creating a pool of permanent faculty and establishing an accreditation agency that will standardise public health education. India currently graduates some 375 students each year from its schools of public health and institutions-compared to the 10,000 needed annually.
With the setting up this unit, Orissa will become a leader in the entire eastern region.
From the above news item it is not clear what is meant by a unit of PHFI. Is it an IIPH or something else?
Update: Following is Samaja’s report on it.
Update: Following is Sambada’s report on it.

PHFI website has advertised faculty positions for 3 IIPH (in Gandhinagar, Delhi and Hyderabad). There is no reference for eastern zone. It seems like a PHFI regional branch, state gov should ask for an IIPH in BBSR.

As Mr. Digambara has written, there may be some confusion or may be a delay in the proposal of the IIPH in bhubaneswar. We all should pursue to see to it that we take this opportunity seriously and as soon as possible get this institution in Orissa.
