About SPH
Founded in 2012, the School of Public Health (SPH) is a pivotal force in shaping Pakistan’s healthcare future. SPH engages in diverse academic disciplines, including biostatistics, epidemiology, social and behavioral sciences, health policy and management, and nutritional sciences—a pioneering program in Pakistan. Recognizing the nation’s neglect of essential health areas, SPH boasts qualified faculty.
Pakistan faces critical issues in social and behavioral sciences, essential nutrition, policy matters, human resource management in healthcare, and health communication. The prevalence of diseases necessitates a well-trained workforce capable of addressing public health challenges. In response to this urgent need, Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) established the first public sector Institute of Public Health in Sindh, training the necessary workforce to meet healthcare demands and tackle emerging health problems in the country.
