India's public health is rapidly changing as a result of changing socio-economic determinants, disease patterns, nutrition and changing demographics. The 13th Annual Conference of the Indian Health Economics and Policy Association (IHEPA), in collaboration with IIT Mandi, will discuss issues in health, nutrition and well-being with a focus on ageing, mental health and climate change. The conference will bring together researchers, policymakers and practitioners to exchange views through oral presentations in addition to keynote addresses from leading experts.
The discussions will focus on evidence-based policy, programme evaluation, innovative financing, technology and multisectoral collaborations aimed at advancing inclusive, equitable and sustainable health systems across the lifespan.
