MakSPH Annual Report 2018: 1 New Programme 30 New Grants 2019

We are excited to share with you our annual report for the year 2018. There was a lot of growth in the year, a lot of lessons to learn and a lot of innovations that saw the School maintain its major contribution to public health in Uganda and the African region. We are grateful to all our partners within and outside the university without whom these achievements would have been impossible. We are grateful to the Management of Makerere University for the continuous support. We thank the different units within the university establishment that collaborated with us. We also greatly commend our funders, district teams, and the Ministry of Health, among other government ministries and departments for working with us over the years.
