About The Department of Family and Community Health
The Department of Family and Community Health is one of the four academic departments within FNBSPH. The department has a strong research culture that applies fundamental scientific principles to promote individual, family and community health, focusing on nutrition, diet and diseases, mental health, maternal reproductive and child health and population health in general. This dynamic, diverse and broad-based department strives for excellence through leadership to achieve the highest standards of education and research for our range of students.
The department is committed to positively impacting the health of populations within the communities in the Hohoe Municipality and beyond. The three units in the Department are:
▪ Family, Reproductive and Child Health Unit
▪ Mental Health Unit
▪ Public Health Nutrition Unit
Currently, the department offers two undergraduate programmes leading to the award of Bachelor of Public Health degree with specializations in Nutrition and Mental Health; and two postgraduate programmes leading to the award of Master of Public Health with specialization in Nutrition and Family and Reproductive Health. In the short to medium term, we envisage developing new programmes as part of the Nkabom Collaborative project
