As guidance provided by WHO, environmental surveillance provides early warning and evidence regarding viruses in circulation in a population, including its presence or absence, trends in concentrations, and variants of concern or interest. This can inform decisions to prepare and manage interventions for public health at scale.
The Indian Alliance for Public Health Preparedness (IA.PHP) is India’s first, multi-sectoral collaboration that provides a platform of diverse stakeholders for policy shaping, research and knowledge sharing for environmental surveillance as a tool for public health preparedness.

Through the Alliance, we aim to scale these efforts of implementing environmental surveillance across 25 cities in India.
The Alliance is composed of eminent members who lead academic and scientific research institutions, implementing agencies, apex government bodies, and philanthropy foundations working in support of public health.
