Project Officer Public Health Foundation of India Shillong Meghalaya

The Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) is working towards building a healthier India.  

The project would attempt to design and facilitate the adoption of alternate model(s) for responding to the critical shortage of medical specialists in select states.
