Following is a selection of training programs
conducted by the IHS.
1. Managing Primary Health Care in Remote Areas (MPHCR)
designed specifically
to benefit medical officers, ITDA officials, PHC
Extension officers
in Tribal Areas. This two week program builds skills
in organisational
behaviour, public administration, rapid assessment of
health situation,
program management, monitoring and evaluation,
accounting and
financial management, working with tribal communities,
disciplinary procedures,
conduct rules, and office procedures.
2. The IHS is the only
centre in the South and East Asian region with
substantial expertise in
national burden of disease studies. Recognising
this, the Indian Council
of Medical Research (ICMR) chose the Institute
to train its scientists
in burden of disease study methodology and research
on causes of death. Two
batches of scientists from various ICMR
laboratories have been
trained in National Burden of Disease Study
methodology.
3. A suite of programs on various aspects of cause
of death coding and research
has been developed to meet the needs of different
people involved in
generation of cause of death statistics. The Indian
Council of Medical Research
(ICMR) has identified the IHS to organise workshops on
cause of death research
methodology for its scientists. An
advanced study programme in public health will be
offered by the Institute
by end 2002. This 2 year course will prepare experts
in Health System
Research, Health & Social work. Graduating
students from this course
will manage community health care, non-profit health
care institutions. | |
