Over a program of global health research, advocacy, global leadership, and disruptive social and public health entrepreneurship, we are driving global impact. UIGH is an institution founded with the mission to develop Human Resources for Healthcare (HRH), to provide NextGen Public Health Leadership, and New Age Education for public health professionals in the country. The institution sees the development space as requiring the application of Administration disciplines that are unique and tailored to the scale of the public health domain. Public health administration is the component of the field of public health that concentrates on the management of people and programs. On a day-to-day basis, the administration is needed to ensure that organizations operate efficiently and with success. The work of a public health administrator is at the same time similar to and different from that of persons engaged in administration in other fields.

Dean’s Message
Welcome to the UPANU Institute of Global Health (UIGH): Ranchi. As societies become more and more knowledge-based, rules and institutions that shape local, national and global engagements will have to change to meet the aspirations of the youth of India. Designing these policies and institutions will form the essence of global health in the next few decades. Because they will be affected by them, the youth must participate in designing them. The number and quality of the applicants in our very first year have convinced us that the Indian youth want to have a decisive say in the society they want to live and work in.
The UIGH was conceived as the first Indian Institute of Global Health focused on the design and management of institutions and policies that govern the company. It has been set up by an eminent council of senior global health experts, policy experts, administrators, and philanthropists with a vision to develop a new class of global health leaders for India and the region. It is designed as a year-long post-graduate diploma in Public Health Administration (PGDPHA), and 6-month-long Citification Program on Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPCPHC).
The UIGH is the institutional successor to several years of public health programs that our founding council has conceptualized and run in various forms, in colleges and universities across the country. Across these programs, we have graduated over 35 students, who have gone on to embark on successful public health careers in India, and across the world.
The establishment of a new institute invariably affords tremendous scope and possibilities to its various stakeholders, and that is certainly the case at UIGH. Our mission and aim are to build excellence in public health training and research platform, and a vibrant community for talented and ambitious students, faculty, and practitioners.
Join us on this exhilarating journey. Welcome once again!
