“Closing the Healthcare Gap for the Indigenous People of India Fellowship” is presented by JBI at The University of Adelaide in partnership with the Manbhum Ananda Ashram Nityananda Trust (MANT) and the Centre for Public Health Research (CPHR) in India
ABOUT AUSTRALIA AWARD FELLOWSHIPS
Australia Awards Fellowships aim to build networks of influence and leadership by strengthening partnerships between Australian organisations and partner organisations.
Our initiative is designed to build the capacity of mid-career health professionals, researchers, and policymakers to implement culturally appropriate, evidence-based interventions that address the unique health needs of India’s Indigenous communities.
Fellows have undertaken intensive training in evidence implementation, project leadership, and change management to design and deliver sustainable solutions aligned with India’s national health priorities and Universal Health Coverage goals.
ABOUT THE EVENT
This special presentation and networking event will showcase the results of the Fellows’ year-long implementation projects, which span priority areas such as maternal and child health, mental health, nutrition, and primary care access for Indigenous populations.
The presentations will highlight the practical impact of translating evidence into action, the importance of equity and intersectionality in health interventions, and the critical role of Indigenous-led approaches to healthcare reform.
Esteemed local panellists will also join us to discuss Australia and India’s shared commitment to inclusive health development and enduring bilateral collaboration.
