Mission statement
Health systems of developing countries like India have been facing adverse health indicators for a long period. Gross variations also exist among regions and within these countries. There is almost a total lack of recent data on major causes of morbidity and mortality in the community, while tertiary care centers mushroom around big cities. Even the changes in the clinical spectrum of many diseases go unnoticed with greater focus on curative care. Inadequate or sub-optimally used infrastructure and resources, and lack of skilled human resources have resulted in the current status. Epidemiological transition and the threat of emerging and reemerging diseases are further escalating the disease burden. However, such countries are in the process of drastic health systems development, and a number of initiatives have evolved both within and outside the Government. But, the effective planning and implementation of such initiatives require skilled human resources in different domains of public health. Also, the real challenges of health systems have to be identified through scientific research. AIPH will be the first of its kind to meet such needs via multiple centers of excellence under its umbrella.
