Bachelor of Science in Public Health

Code: PUBH Undergraduate

Program Description

Ethiopia as a developing country, has been suffering from a wide range of health problems for many years. The cumulative effects of the country’s features such as poverty, high proportion of maternal and child mortality, high prevalence of communicable diseases and accidents, increased awareness about civic democratic rights and concern of equity by societies and communities together with rapidly increasing population size results in an increased demand for health care. In response to the public’s high demand for health care, the government of Ethiopia planned to improve the quality of health care throughout the country in its Health Sector Development Program with emphasis on addressing PHC services. Contrary to the high demand for health care, the proportion of highly qualified health professionals (clinicians) is very low compared to the size of the population served thus; this situation requires/ Compel training of appropriate types and adequate number of professionals. Therefore, training of public health officers is found more feasible and cost effective in solving ranges of the most pressing and basic clinical and public health problems of the population in Ethiopia.
