About the summit

The Young Public Health Summit gathers students, young clinicians and early-career health workers in Mumbai to practise how a city looks after people’s health.

Mumbai’s dense neighbourhoods and busy clinics give the summit a practical setting for community health, clear public messages and youth wellbeing.

Hosted under the Summits Connect network, the summit combines keynotes, workshops, small-group sessions and structured networking.
