Two years ago, the Public Health Foundation of India was launched by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Honourable Prime Minister of India on March 28 in New Delhi. Celebrating our Foundation Day for the first time. PHFI is pleased to announce its first Foundation Day Lecture, an oration to be delivered by a distinguished leader in a public health area of great national and global significance.
