Kolkata, Apr 27 (IBNS) Kolkata will host the 14th World Congress on Public Health in February, 2015, announced the organising committee at a curtain-raiser on Saturday. It has been more than three decades since the city hosted the prestigious event which is held every three years at different locales across the world.

The Congress will be co-hosted by the Indian Public Health Association (IPHA)  and the World Federation of Public Health Association and envisages  more than  3000 delegates  from across the globe, said J Ravi Kumar, president, IPHA.    

Within the main theme of “Healthy people – Healthy Environment”,  there will be sub-themes under heads like ‘Defining the role of public health in today’s global setting’, ‘Global public health challenges’, ‘Public health in the sustainable development agenda’, etc. 

“The World Congress is expected to provide opportunities to the global public health community to get together and deliberate on important issues…and learning about effective policies, programmes and best practices in support of the public health,” said Madhumita Dobe, organising secretary of the Congress.
