The national capital will soon have its own public health university with the state government today allotting around 51 hectares of land in Southwest Delhi to the Indian Public Health Institute for this purpose.
"The state government had signed an agreement with IPHI in 2007, according to which a public health university will be established in Ghummenhera area," Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said today in a statement.
Stressing on the need to improve health facilities, Dikshit said there was an urgent need for trained health workers to reach out to the needy.
State Health Minister Kiran Walia said the proposed institute would strengthen infrastructural facilities in the health sector. "Such institutes across the city would help in public health and research and policy making," Walia added.
