Celebrating MFC@50: Thematic Anthologies

To commemorate the milestone of MFC’s 50th year in 2024, a series of anthologies on various themes was initiated. These aim to offer insight into MFC’s discussions on diverse themes and provide a comprehensive overview of the organization’s discourse on various topics. We are confident that these anthologies will serve as invaluable resources for both current and future generations working in the health sector.

About Us

It is an organization which has operated for forty eight years as a ‘thought current’ without allegiance to a specific ideology. Its only commitment has been to intervene in and understand the debates, policies and practices of health in Independent India. The understanding that our present health service is lopsided and is in the interest of a privileged few prevails as a common conviction.  It has critically been analyzing the existing health care system and has tried to evolve an appropriate approach towards health care which is humane, and which can meet the needs of the vast majority of the people in our country.

51 Years

51st Annual Meet of MFC

Theme: From Wayanad to Bhopal: Climate Change, Disasters, and Health

Dates: 21st – 23rd February 2025

Venue: Pastoral Centre, Bhopal

The annual meet will reflect on one of the largest industrial disasters in the world that occurred in Bhopal 40 years ago, and on the recent tragedy in Wayanad. It will also focus on the various struggles going on in the country on the issues of environmental pollution and climate change. The people who have been engaged with these struggles will share their stories of success and their stories of failures using a cause-effect-response matrix. The formats of the presentations will be diverse and accessible, including panel discussions, case stories, films, skits, songs and other creative media. Besides, there will be a lot of spaces for friends to catch-up, and for the relatively younger participants to interact with the relatively more experienced public health workers.
