WHO Fellowship programme: Call for nominations

[Guest guest]

Dear

We have been training doctors and other health professionals under

the WHO Fellowship programme. During the biennium 2006-2007, about

550 health professionals were awarded WHO Fellowship in prestigious

institutions within the country and in foreign countries such as

Thailand and Australia.

2. Building up on the experience of the last two biennium i.e. 2004-

2005 and 2006-2007, we propose to send more number of health

professionals, nurses, radiologist, laboratory technicians and para-

medical staff under the aforesaid fellowships programme, to WHO

Collaborating Centres in India for courses in various specialities as

enclosed at Annexure - I.

3. There shall also be slots in foreign institutions indicated in the

Annexure - II.

4. Kindly send nominations of interested officers especially those in

the field of public health. It is our experience that the applicants

are generally from big cities. We would like to afford equal

opportunities to those who have been serving in rural areas or sub-

divisional / district hospitals and have first hand experience of

public health issues. Similarly adequate representation should be

given to female officers and officers belonging to SC/ST category.

5. Efforts should be made to utilize the additional skills acquired

by fellows undergoing WHO sponsored training in their day to day

functions to improve the health services in the country.

6. The last date for submission of forms is 10.02.2008. Necessary

direction may please be given to the concerned supervisory /

controlling authorities so that the applications are forwarded in

time. In case of selection, the applicants should be relieved as per

the requirements of the course.

7. Copies of application form are also available on our web site –

With regards,

Yours sincerely,
