The Indian Institute of Public Health (IIPH Hyd) now PHFI IPHS DU has been pivotal in my development as a public health professional.

My experience at IPHS has enabled me to translate health data into policy recommendations, lead evaluations in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and support climate health planning. IPHS has instilled values of clarity, inclusivity, and collaboration, equipping me to positively impact public health globally.
