1. bringing out ‘Selected Readings on Indian Health Systems’ and ‘Readings in Public Health’
2. establishment of the web portal that enables discussion as well as collaborative work by anyone interested on health system in India, and
3. organising a national conference/workshop (see EPHP 2010) to advocate health system strengthening.

IHHS  is an initiative of the Institute of Public Health, supported by SWIHPS (Switching International Health Policies & Systems) network.
