School of Public Health

A note from the Dean

Welcome to the School of Public Health at KCMC University. It is my privilege to lead a school where rigorous science meets genuine service to communities. For over two decades, we have worked at the intersection of clinical care, teaching and research, and that same spirit defines our School. Our vision is to prepare healthcare professionals who are evidence-driven, ethically grounded, and deeply connected to the populations they serve.

Across our three departments, our mission is to address the local health challenges that matter most, from communicable and non-communicable diseases, immunization and antimicrobial resistance, to maternal and child health, mental health and the emerging impacts of climate change. We are committed to student-centred learning, strong community engagement, and research that translates into healthier lives across Tanzania and beyond. Whether you are a prospective student, a researcher, or a partner, I warmly invite you to explore what our School has to offer and to join us in advancing global health.

The Dean, School of Public Health
