3 Background Professional Development Courses for District Level Medical Officers were started at NIHFW in September These courses were developed under health sector reforms activities supported by European Commission.

Number of candidates It is proposed to register minimum 25 Doctors from each state in the course.

10 The National Institute of & Family Welfare On March 9, 1977 the National Institute of and Family Welfare (NIHFW) came in to existence by the merger of two erstwhile autonomous organizations previously named as National Institute of Family Planning (NIFP) and National Institute of Administration and Education (NIHAE) which were established in the year 1962 and 1964 respectively. Since then the NIHFW has been functioning as a multi-disciplinary Institute under the Ministry of and Family Welfare, Government of India. NIHFW has been engaged in providing Education and Training to health manager since last two decades through its regular courses of MD (CHA), DHA and other in service training programs. NIHFW conducts training courses per year. The Post Graduate Diploma in Public Management started in in collaboration with MOHFW has gained popularity nationwide. However the in-service training arrangements have not been able to meet the demands expeditiously. Moreover, there is a need for continuous and consistent capacity building of health professionals especially for the management of district health system. In order to facilitate continuous up gradation of knowledge and skills of various health personnel across the country, the NIHFW conducts following e-learning courses. 1) Certificate Course for Professional Development in Public and Sectors Reforms 2) Certificate Course in Programme Management for Public care All communications may be mailed to: The Nodal Officer Distance Learning Cell, Room No.417, Academic Block The National Institute of &Family Welfare, Baba Gang Nath Marg, Munirka, New-Delhi Web Site: Phone Direct: Phone EPBX: , , , Ext: 336, 239, 240,172,368; FAX: E. mail ID lmsadministrator@nihfw.org
