Strengthening Public Health Capacity

The new institute is expected to focus on training public health professionals, conducting research on disease prevention, and supporting evidence‑based health policies.

Strategic Location for Regional Healthcare

Establishing the institute in the city is expected to benefit not only Maharashtra but also neighboring regions by providing training opportunities for healthcare professionals and supporting collaborative research initiatives.
