Human health is fast emerging as a complex interplay of multiple forces outside the control of an individual or a group of people. The global community is trying to engage in a collaborative, multisectoral and multidisciplinary approach to address human health in the context of a shared environment for all living beings, a concept gaining ground worldwide in recent years. The world needs to put up organized efforts in response to a growing burden of complex health issues ranging from the existing overload of infectious and nutritional disorders to environmental, occupational, and chronic health problems, compounded by the emerging and re-emerging diseases.
Ramaiah International Centre for Public Health Innovations (RICPHI) was born out of a collective will of leaders and visionaries from India and other countries, to invest time and efforts towards understanding the nature of and exploring innovative solutions to complex problems of human health, particularly in India and other Low and Middle Income Countries. With RICPHI, we aspire to initiate and implement public health projects at the national and subsequently the global level.
