Welcome to Bangladesh University of Health Sciences (BUHS), a leading health sciences university dedicated to advancing the field of public health through education, research, and service. As the Dean of the Faculty of Public Health, I am honored to lead a team committed to excellence in both teaching and research.
At BUHS, Faculty of Public Health is pleased to offer 8 postgraduate programs (MPH) and 5 undergraduate programs, (BPH) each meticulously designed to equip the next generation of public health leaders with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to address the complex health challenges of current time by latest research and best practices in the field, ensuring that our graduates are well-prepared to make meaningful contributions to health systems both nationally and globally. ... This approach is complemented by our affiliation with the Bangladesh Diabetic Somiti (BADAS), a large health care network in Bangladesh, which operates 120 hospitals and healthcare centers. This partnership ensures us to integrate real-world challenges into our coursework and research, fostering an environment of innovation and applied knowledge where they can apply their learning and contribute to impactful health interventions.

Our faculty and students are engaged in cutting-edge research that addresses critical public health issues, from infectious diseases to chronic conditions and health policy. We are dedicated to generating evidence-based solutions that improve health outcomes both locally and globally. Our research initiatives are supported by a strong network of global partnerships and collaborations, ensuring that our work is both impactful and far-reaching.

Message of The Vice-Chancellor

Prof. J.M.A Hannan

Contrary to popular notion in our society health is not an issue only for the physicians but its development needs a concerted effort of professionals from basic, clinical and social sciences. In line with this concept, generation of human resources in health should not be treated merely from teaching and training points of views; research should also be equally emphasized in this venture as evidences based on geographical, environmental, ethnic and sociocultural background are a prerequisite for rational and cost-effective health care delivery in a population. Based on an internationally recognized research tradition at BIRDEM and BIHS which, in turn, are rooted in the long-term dream of Late National Professor Dr M Ibrahim, the present University aims to blend the three vital elements (teaching, training and research) of education to fulfill the ultimate responsibilities (knowledge dissemination and knowledge generation) of a higher centre of learning. With this aim Bangladesh University of Health Sciences (BUHS) has started its journey with full-time non-practicing (or institutionally practicing) faculty members and a number of highly reputed guest faculties and collaborating partners from all over the world. In public health, BUHS has taken a discipline-wise subspecialty approach which fits more with the present volume of knowledge and technological advancement in the area.We believe that studying in BUHS will be a pleasant and productive experience. Welcome to the BUHS Family!
