In Bangladesh, diabetes is a major public health concern due to high prevalence and associated conditions such as cardiovascular and kidney disease. For Master of Public Health students at IUBAT, there are many ways to think about the problem and possible approaches to reduce diabetes rates. Students examine diabetes-related data in their courses in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. They consider root cause solutions such as healthy built environments in their One Health course and in Reproductive Health they look at the impact of gestational diabetes. In the course, Social and Behavioural Sciences in Public Health, they learn how to design programs for health promotion and disease prevention.

This excellent organization asks, “What do we need to know to make the world a better place?” This sums up what we are trying to achieve with our support for the MPH program itself. In this video, BHP Director John Richards discusses the aims of our involvement with the IUBAT MPH program.
