Greetings from Indian Institute of Public Health - Delhi!

Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), is a public private initiative supported by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India, State Governments as well as multiple stakeholders. On March 28, 2006, this organization was launched in Delhi by the then Prime Minister of India. It has a strong technical pool of multidisciplinary professionals and is recognized as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (by DSIR, Government of India). It is also designated as one of the six Global Health Systems Centre by the WHO. The five campuses of Indian Institutes of Public Health (IIPH) under the aegis of PHFI are located in Delhi NCR (Gurgaon), Hyderabad (Telangana), Gandhinagar (Gujarat) Bhubaneswar (Odisha) and Shillong (Meghalaya), which offer on-campus as well as eLearning academic programs.

Biotechnology graduates can play a unique role in strengthening public health systems by being a back bone in implementing health programs in India. Hence they have a potential to contribute towards the well-being of populations. Biotechnology graduates aspiring to make a difference in their career and to contribute for a wider cause have an opportunity to acquire skills to become a public health professional or a health researcher.

The Indian Institute of Public Health-Delhi (IIPH-Delhi) is a joint initiative of Government of NCT of Delhi, India and Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI). IIPH-Delhi conducts various on-campus and eLearning academic programs. In this context, IIPH-D is pleased to announce its call for applications, for the Master of Public Health (MPH) being offered in the academic year starting from August 2021. IIPH-D in collaboration with Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR, Institution of National Importance, by an Act of Parliament) brings you this unique opportunity to further your career in the area of public health through the Master of Public Health program.

The emerging job market in the field of public health and health research is evident, as more than 90 percent of IIPHs graduates have been placed during previous academic year, 2019-20. Over the years, we have received positive feedbacks from employers about our graduates, with respect to the knowledge and skills in public health, rigor in research methodology, their commitment towards work and innovative ideas.
