Who We Are?
Principles, Vision & Mission, Aim & Objectives
PHRS works and provides assistance on the basis of need, regardless of race, creed or religion, addressing the rights of vulnerable groups and disadvantaged populations, particularly women and children. At PHRS, we value equality and diversity at all times. We are committed to work towards creating an inclusive environment of mutual respect and consideration that values each partner’s contribution.
We believe that appropriate, and responsive public health services are imperative for the health and well-being of our population. Good and ethical public health practice stems from meaningful and well-rounded public health capacities. We are constantly seeking new knowledge and perspective, as much as questioning the existing ones. We seek to deeply engage with public health practitioners on the frontline of action and the community and seek to facilitate and enable them with core knowledge and competencies that will translate into game-changing practice.
