PHFI (Public Health Foundation of India) Launches a New Website on Zoonoses

”The Public Health Foundation of India was set up in March 2006 as a public
private partnership that collaboratively evolved through consultations with
multiple government and private organisations. It was set up in response to
redress the limited institutional capacity in India for strengthening
training, research and policy development in the area of public health. The
Foundation 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 and popular understanding.”
