We have developed a short online course for anyone who wishes to increase their knowledge on public health, particularly in the Indian context.

The modules have been designed with Indian journalists in mind, in consultation with senior journalists from across the country.  Media plays a vital role in society to alert and inform the public, and their knowledge, analysis and insight is critical to help set the policy agenda and frame the national and regional debate.  

This online course is designed to cover the basics of public health.  On completion you will have a sound understanding of key issues such as immunisation and Mother and Child Health.

On completion of the course you will receive a certificate issued jointly by UNICEF, Thomson Reuters Foundation and the Indian Institute of Mass Communication.
