Hello,

It is my immense pleasure to announce that the Centre for Public Health Research (CPHR), Kolkata, is organizing the National Symposium on Tribal Health 2023 on December 15, 2023, with the theme ‘India@76, Looking at 100: How we can resolve the tribal health challenge?’.

India, at various points, has demonstrated the ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — One World, One Family. As the country celebrates its various achievement, there is need to look towards the future and consider how we can build a healthcare system that caters to all communities. Tribal communities in India constitute 8.9% of the population and remain the most neglected and deprived group with regards to access to healthcare.

The event is aimed at bringing academics, researchers and practitioners working on tribal health in India and share experiences on tribal health such as cardiovascular diseases, oral health, mental health, and One health.
