Vision of the College of Public Health

To foster leadership in responding to public health challenges in Kuwait and the Gulf region through promoting relevant education, high quality research and evidence-based practice.

Mission

The Faculty of Public Health is committed to health protection and health promotion for all individuals and communities in Kuwait and the Gulf region. This will be achieved by providing relevant professional education and training; by conducting research relevant to national and regional health challenges; by engaging in public health interventions; by fostering health studies so as to promote health literacy throughout the population; and by advocating policies to protect and promote health.

Background

Substantial need exists for academic institutions that can provide Public Health education, training, leadership, research, and service in the Arabian Gulf region. To address this need locally, Kuwait University established a new College of Public Health and is developing its academic programs. In September 2017, the College launched its BSc degree in Health and Community Studies; and in September 2018, the MPH degrees in Health Policy and Management and in Environmental and Occupational Health. These initiatives are designed with the goal of supporting and enhancing health protection and health promotion both locally and regionally.

Structure

The College of Public Health is constituted with five Departments, with a horizontal and collaborative interaction. Faculty members in all the departments function as one “team”:

Environmental and Occupational Health
Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Health Policy and Management
