Its purpose is to make India self -reliant to address the future epidemic, and it also includes the work of public health institutions in India and the establishment of a Public Health Council to oversee a union of public health institutions in the country.
“Covid-19 Epidemic has shown the importance and priority of public health. There is a lack of standardization of public health courses. Therefore, experts unanimously made three proposals the Indian Public Health University very immediately because there are about 50 many disciplinary cadre courses, for which there is no standardization of public health. The university is proposed and it can take time to take time.
“Until the formation of Public Health Consortium, the scheme is to form a coordination committee with experts from All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health and National Center for Disease Control, which is a disease control center for uniform joint and board-based decisions.

“For example, the Union Ministry of Health runs the National Institute of Health of Health Family Welfare, All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health, etc. which offer many public health courses. However, they are not recognized by UGC and lack of ‘university’ status. Therefore, all the courses are affiliated to the university or other universities. NIHFW said to Dillhead. “
“Once the public health university is implemented, other public health institutions who do not have university status can also contact public health university for affiliation. Right now, some institutions are affiliated to government universities or while those who do not receive it, they go to private universities,” said another official.
The second official said that the National Public Health Council is in great need and has been proposed by experts.
“For all medical education, there is a regulatory body like NMC that leaves standards, quality education, student-teacher ratio, definite duration, etc.. The government will be established by the government,” the second official said the proposals are still under consideration on the Ministry of Health.
