A team from the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) met with officials from the Non-Communicable Diseases Division. The discussions centered on pressing nutrition issues of public health concern, with a particular focus on addressing micronutrient deficiencies. The high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was highlighted, and both sides agreed to explore potential collaboration in this area.

PHFI, a distinguished public-private initiative launched in 2006, is dedicated to strengthening institutional capacity for training, research, and policy development in public health.
