Building a Global
Public Health
Community
PHPCG — Public Health Professionals Coalition for Global Impact — connects students, early-career professionals and senior practitioners across academia, NGOs, government and global health institutions.
Who We Are
From 45 Students on WhatsApp
to a Global Movement
What began in 2022 as a small WhatsApp community of 45 struggling public health students has grown into a thriving network of over 2,000 graduates and aspiring professionals — learning, supporting one another, and growing together.
PHPCG addresses public health challenges through innovative solutions and evidence-based approaches, bridging the gap between public health knowledge and the broader community.
We operate under the incubation of Sushruta Med-tech Innovation Labs & Enabler (SMILE) and Aarogya Seva — Global Health Volunteer Alliance, reaching 100,000+ beneficiaries across India, the USA, Nepal, Rwanda, Mexico and Haiti.
Co-presented alongside SHIIRI Public Health, extending our work beyond careers into holistic professional wellbeing.
