An improvement in population health is increasingly recognized internationally as a key element of economic and social development and nowhere is this more evident than in emerging countries with growing economies.

This course provides a broad-based understanding of health and its social and environmental determinants with a curriculum informed by key international strategies, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Social Determinants of Health.

The focus of this program is to facilitate the development of public health practitioners; to enhance their knowledge and skills required for public health practice in their local setting. In addition, to develop a public health mindset and approach which is relevant to their role and country.

LMIC’s are increasingly challenged with a double burden of disease; whilst still fighting infectious diseases they are now increasingly faced with the growth in non-communicable diseases (NCD’s). Tackling these burdens requires a robust evidence base built on sound research, surveillance, and intelligence; policy and strategic approaches based on the evidence; health protection measures, and health promotion activities at the community level. This program will introduce these core areas of public health and enable you to apply them to your setting.
