The Public Health Department is committed to provide quality education in public health and undertake research to advance evidence-based public health policy and practice in Pakistan, by creating a culture of lifelong learning to improve the health of population.

• The Department aspires to offer high quality teaching to train competent Public Health Professionals with appropriate knowledge and competencies. Such expertise would enable these Professionals to play a leadership role as agents of change for identifying and solving complex Public Health problems in the Pakistani context.
• Research by the Department of Public Health would strive to transform attitudes at individual, community and policy levels, and provide impetus to future public health programs.
• The Department also plans to engage in strategic collaborations and knowledge-sharing activities with other Public Health Institutions in Pakistan and abroad so that the scope of Public Health Workforce development can be broadened and interdisciplinary training and research can be facilitated.

Ensuring a multipronged approach towards strengthening the health systems, the Department will extend all efforts and work proactively to build sustainable partnerships with relevant stakeholders. The resulting communities of practice will ensure that trained workforce and translational research in Public Health are utilised to the best of their advantage to elevate the health status of the nation.
