MEZCOPH Social Justice Symposium 2021

Join us for a three-day virtual conference on Public Health, co-hosted with Navrachana University in Vadodara, India, March 24th through March 26th.


To support our global public health mission, Dr. Mohan Tanniru from the Zuckerman College of Public Health – Phoenix Campus, worked with faculty from the Public Health Research Center at Navrachana University in India to organize this International Conference on Public Health (ICHP). The conference brings together expertise from both schools in an international exchange of public health ideas, practice, and research. Public health faculty from both universities and other professionals will give presentations on a range of public health topics. The ICHP enables us to support each other so that together we improve our public health practice and programs for the many communities we serve. All are welcome to attend.

This virtual event will kick off with an Inauguration the evening of March 23rd. The rest of the conference will continue from March 24th to March 26th, starting at 8:30pm PDT (9:00am IST).
