Faculty of Public Health

Dr. Marc Sam Opollo

Faculty Dean

The Faculty of Public Health addresses critical health challenges in Uganda through training, research, and community outreach. It offers degrees such as Bachelor of Public Health and Master of Public Health (MPH). The curriculum emphasizes disease prevention, health policy, and community-based interventions to tackle issues like maternal-child mortality, HIV/AIDS, and malnutrition. Partnerships with regional health facilities and global organizations likely support fieldwork and research aimed at improving healthcare access in underserved populations.

Public health focuses on improving and protecting community health and well-being, with an emphasis on prevention among large groups of people. Those with public health degrees keep communities healthy through child wellness, disease prevention, education, disaster relief, clean water, access to healthcare, and much more.
