Public health ethics in India: establishing linkages and synergies

India is a diverse country which faces wide and varied public health challenges of both infectious and chronic diseases accompanied with extreme heat and air pollution. Much scientific research is concentrating on these challenges but ethics has not entered the academic discourse in healthcare, health policy, practice, implementation, societal drivers and solutions. 

We aim to establish a robust network of global and Indian experts in public health ethics and conduct a series of seminars which will enable a debate on issues in public health and also train master’s students on public health ethics. 

This project will help put ethics at the core of health promotion and disease prevention in India.
