MANIPAL UNIVERSITY
Manipal University, as the highest ranked comprehensive private deemed University in the QS BRICS and QS Asia rankings, staunchly promulgates the work-ethic of “Global leadership in human development; excellence in education and healthcare.” Further, ranked 1st among ‘Research Publications by Private Universities in India,’ (as per.

SIGNIFICANCE OF HEALTH COMMUNICATION
The relevance of health communication can be felt virtually in every facet of health and well-being.An integral component of health promotion, health protection, disease prevention and treatment, health communication is recognized as a core competency in public health and health promotion practice and plays a vital role in achieving public health objectives.
The significance of understanding and managing effective health communications is especially urgent in developing countries like ours with huge burdens of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. In a study published in September 2016 by Lancet and released at an event at the UN General Assembly in New York on the first ever annual assessment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) health performance among 188 countries,India stood at the 143rd position, just ahead of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The analysis of the existing situation points to a lacuna in communication between professionals in the arena of medicine, public health and healthcare. The availability of knowledge, expertise or information being not the problem, but how this is being dispensed to the community is recognized as the problem, Health colloquium 2017, is an earnest interdisciplinary effort to collate professionals from Medical, Public Health, NGOs, others working in the area of health and communication professionals to make an effort to bridge the existing gap, thus taking a step closer to make India a super power in coming days.
