The Master of Public Health program equips students with essential knowledge and skills in areas like Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Health Policy, Innovation, and Healthcare Monitoring. It fosters technological awareness and social responsibility to advance health management. Globally, preventable diseases remain a major challenge—non-communicable ones like diabetes dominate in developed nations, while Africa faces a high burden of communicable diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS.
