Organizing Chairperson's Message
Greetings from the historic city of Ranchi and the prestigious Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS)!
It gives us immense pleasure and privilege to invite you to the 71st Annual National Conference of the Indian Public Health Association (IPHACON 2027), scheduled to be held from 11th–14th March 2027 at RIMS, Ranchi, Jharkhand.
IPHACON 2027 will serve as a vibrant platform for bringing together public health professionals, clinicians, researchers, academicians, policymakers, programme managers, and students from across the country and beyond to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and deliberate on emerging public health challenges and innovative solutions.
The theme of this year's conference, "Synergizing AI and One Health: Precision Analytics for Human Health, Zoonotic Control and Environmental Resilience" , reflects the growing need to integrate technological advancements with holistic health approaches.
The conference will explore how artificial intelligence, digital health innovations, and One Health frameworks can strengthen disease surveillance, improve health system responsiveness, promote environmental sustainability, and contribute to better health outcomes for all.
Nestled amidst the scenic landscapes, forests, and waterfalls of Jharkhand, Ranchi offers the perfect setting for meaningful scientific engagement, professional networking, and collaborative learning. Alongside a rich academic programme featuring plenary sessions, symposia, workshops, oral and poster presentations, delegates will also experience the warmth, culture, and hospitality of our region.
We warmly invite you to join us in this national endeavour as we collectively envision and shape a healthier, more resilient, and equitable future.
