Public Health Evidence South Asia (PHESA)
Public Health Evidence South Asia (PHESA) is an initiative which includes the South Asian satellite of the Cochrane Public Health (CPH), based at Manipal Academy of Higher Education. PHESA aims to meet the public health evidence needs of the South Asian Region. Presently, we have grown into an international network with global collaborations, including many universities, public health organizations and NGOs.
PHESA aims to partner with various organisations and individuals spanning subject areas in order to solve a variety of public health problems faced by low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Our staff and interns have roots across the globe inspiring new ideas, debate, change and innovation; with a focus on capacity building in public health research.
Internship and Exchange Programmes
The Internship programme is an initiative of PHESA designed for undergraduates, postgraduates and doctoral candidates of diverse backgrounds for the duration of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or for 1 year to work with PHESA.
Under this programme, students are involved in ongoing projects under PHESA and will get exposure to public health research. Students are educated on health disparities, health issues, professional development and community health promotion activities. A certificate is granted on successful completion of internship. International students can apply for our internship programme.
