School of Public Health

Overview

Public health is the science of ensuring safety and improving the health of populations through education, policies and research for disease and injury prevention.

We envision building a healthy future for the Namibia nation, the sub-region, the African continent and the rest of the world through education, training, and research and community services.

We strive to train public health practitioners who are able to provide expertise in: professional managerial positions in health care systems, hospitals, health insurance, and other organisations working for policy and programmes development in population health, prevention and health care systems.
