Inspired by our three core responsibilities of training in public health, research and service delivery, our vision is to be a centre of excellence providing leadership in Public Health. Our approach to teaching is hands-on to ensure the acquisition of competencies that are relevant to the market and to deliver services to the communities, and our students are at the heart of our activities. We expose our students to real-life challenges to stimulate their creativity, problem analysis, and problem-solving capabilities. I have witnessed and lived this experience myself, as a proud alumna of MakSPH.

It is a great honour and privilege for me to lead and to serve MakSPH. I look forward to working with our students, alumni, staff, partners, and stakeholders to enhance our contribution to public health in Uganda and beyond. The challenges to public health are greater than ever before, with emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, endemic neglected tropical diseases in our backyard, and a rapidly growing burden of non-communicable diseases, challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, among others.
