Master of Science in Public Health - MSPH
The Aga Khan University’s Department of Community Health Sciences in the Medical College launched the Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) Programme last year.
The MSPH programme has been developed to meet the ever-evolving need for trained public health professionals in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) of the region, especially Pakistan. With a large health systems workforce required in the public and private sectors as well as academia, this high-quality innovative curriculum will develop public health leaders. These leaders are empowered to manage and solve the many health problems faced by the population of Pakistan and countries in the region. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted even more acutely that well-trained public health professionals are critical across the world proving the relevance of the programme globally.
