HOD

I am pleased to welcome you to the Fred N. Binka School of Public Health (FNBSPH). The School was established at the inception of the University in 2012 as School of Public Health (SPH) and was in 2021 renamed after the Foundation Vice Chancellor, Fred Newton Binka, an illustrious Ghanaian Public Health scholar. FNBSPH is located on the premises of the Volta Regional Hospital in Hohoe

 

We run undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Public Health. There are six programmes in the Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) portfolio. We also run the Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Philosophy (MPHIL) in Applied Epidemiology and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes in Public Health

 

We pride ourselves in being a School that is committed to the highest standards of teaching, learning and research. This is exemplified in the quality of our faculty and alumni. A key component of teaching, learning and research at FNBSPH is community-based practice.

 

We collaborate with several local and international organizations and our biggest local collaborators are the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health. Through our close working relationships with the two institutions, our students gain extensive exposure to the workings of the health system during their training. We also have collaborations with the World Health Organization, the United Nations Development Programme, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, McGill University in Canadaand Rutgers and Campbell universities in the United States of America.

 

Our location in Hohoe gives us access to hard-to-reach and underserved communities in the northern Volta and Oti Regions of Ghana. In these communities, our students, faculty and visiting scholars have the opportunity to learn and practice public health in its most authentic form.
