I am pleased to welcome you to the National University of Rwanda School
of Public Health (NURSPH) website. As a critical institution of higher
learning for public health, we seek to provide leadership to address
the health challenges facing our country and contribute to a productive
population, key to Rwanda’s overall economic growth and development.
Additionally, we hope to collaborate with our regional partners and
support initiatives to advance and maintain quality of life gains
across our borders.
The NURSPH focuses its
efforts and resources on education, applied research, and community
service. Among its many academic programs, the School is proud to offer
two Masters programs – the Master of Public Health (MPH) and the Master
of Science in Epidemiology (MS). Additionally, the School offers
numerous certificate programs in specialized areas of study such as the
Management of Health Services and Strategic Information in Support of
Improved HIV/AIDS Programming to name but two. The NURSPH maintains
close ties to Rwanda’s Ministry of Health and the School is an active
partner in the conduct of applied research in support of national
planning and programming, both with the Government of Rwanda and
numerous international and national partners. Through its Rwanda
HIV-AIDS Public Interest Fellowship Program (Fellows Program), the
NURSPH strives to promote a multi-sector response to the epidemic
rather than relegating HIV solely to the health sector. Specifically,
the Fellows Programs seeks to build the professional capacity of young
graduates in order to prepare them for dynamic roles in ethics-driven
leadership and management of HIV programs in Rwanda’s not-for-profit
sector organizations and institutions.
We are excited about the progress made to date and invite you to explore our new site and learn more about the NURSPH and our activities. If you are a student, a researcher or someone who is interested in public health issues in the sub-Saharan Africa or in supporting the School, please feel free to contact us.
We hope you enjoy our site and return to visit often.
Best wishes,
Cyprien MUNYANSHONGORE, PhD
