Uganda’s Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) is set to benefit from  US$11.8 million grant from Wyss Medical Foundation of Boston, USA, money that will be used to establish a school of public health by the University. The school is expected to improve community health in South Western Uganda.

Speaking at the first annual community health research conference held at Hotel Triangle in Mbarara, Prof Celestine Obua, the university’s Vice-Chancellor said in order to make MUST great in teaching and research in health, a “viable, vibrant and functional” school of public health must be set up.

This is a 5 years project being funded by Wyss Medical Foundation in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, USA.
