v-INSPIRE Public Health Dashboard: Informing and Educating Communities

In response to the escalating demand for skilled public health professionals, there has been a significant surge in the number of public health programs offered across India. However, the absence of a regulatory council has resulted in limited accessibility to information regarding these programs.

Our innovative Public Health Programs Dashboard seeks to address this gap by consolidating information on all public health programs onto a single platform. This initiative not only aims to provide comprehensive details about the various programs available but also to shed light on the distinctive characteristics of public health education across India’s diverse geographical and regional landscapes.
