  • The Population Health program is ideal for candidates who want to equip themselves for program management, research, and policy advocacy in population, health, and development.
  • The Population Health program is important because the health of a population is one of the fundamental pillars of the demographic dividend.
  • The Population Health program adopted a multi-sectoral lens in its study of health problems.
