Certificate in Community Health (CCH)

This certificate program focuses on population‑based health promotion, disease prevention, and primary care services. Epidemiology, biostatistics, maternal and child health, environmental health, and health education techniques are curriculum areas. Students learn how to conduct needs assessments, program evaluations, and community surveys. Field trips to urban or rural health facilities provide an eye-opener in the modes of delivery. The trainings include programs in communicable and non-communicable diseases, nutrition, sanitation, and health policy. Project work in participant-civilian engagement promotes skills in communication and health advocacy. Only participants in the program optimise community intervention plans and track results. Graduates may work with international health organisations, government health departments, or non-governmental organisations. Besides, it gives a kick-start to degrees in public health or higher diplomas. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based public health planning, cultural sensitivity, and practical skills in this certificate program.
