Indian Institute of Public Health Hyderabad (IIPH-H)
The Indian Institute of Public Health Hyderabad (IIPH-H) as an arm of the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) aims to strengthen Public Health in India. IIPH-H works in the domain of public health education and training, pursues research and advocacy, and supports policy development, as aligned to the public health priorities of the state and the nation. The governance of IIPH Hyderabad is managed by a locally empowered society called the Institute of Public Health Sciences Hyderabad (IPHSH).
IIPH-H envisions advancing public health to achieve health equity and promote healthy communities. The Institute is involved in training public health professionals through long- and short-term courses each year. A multi-disciplinary pool of faculty and researchers includes a talented diaspora that aims to create an environment that supports excellence in instruction, research, and practice. In addition, the institute collaborates with various academic, research, and administrative organizations to conduct workshops and conferences, and to undertake public health research and evaluation.
The Indian Institute of Public Health, Hyderabad, stands at the threshold of a transformative phase in its pursuit of academic brilliance and innovation. Anchored by its Academic and Laboratory Buildings, the Institute has been a crucible of learning, research, and community engagement. As it charts a path toward a dynamic future, it envisions the creation of a state-of-the-art campus sprawling across its 43 acres of land.
At the heart of the Institute’s current infrastructure lies the Academic Building – a hub of knowledge dissemination and collaboration. This facility encompasses modern classrooms, administrative spaces facilitating seamless operations, a library, and a versatile multipurpose hall fostering interactions and events that shape minds and initiatives.
Complementing this academic nerve center is the Laboratory Building, home to advanced facilities such as the HiRapid Lab and Public Health Lab. These spaces serve as crucibles for scientific exploration and innovation, contributing significantly to the Institute’s research endeavours and its commitment to public health advancement.
In November 2023, significant progress was made toward the realization of the Centre for Infectious Disease at IIPHH campus. An architect has been identified and appointed to spearhead the design process for the campus and specifically for Phase I which includes the facility – Centre for Infectious Disease.
The design phase for the Centre is currently underway, marking a crucial step towards creating a state-of-the-art facility tailored to meet the demands of cutting-edge research and response to infectious diseases.
Looking ahead, the Institute is gearing up for a ground-breaking ceremony slated to take place in March 2024. This symbolic event will mark the commencement of construction, representing a milestone in our journey towards establishing a hub dedicated to combating infectious diseases. Anticipating the construction phase, once the ground-breaking occurs, the timeline for building completion spans approximately 12 to 14 months. This period will witness the transformation of plans and designs into a physical structure, culminating in the realization of the Centre for Infectious Diseases testament to our commitment to advancing research, innovation, and public health initiatives.
