“BRAC JPGSPH provides real world experiences such as field work related to malaria, HIV, and other diseases. I learned how to respond to people suffering from health issues through field work and community-based programmes. These are the things that make my experience at JPGSPH valuable to me”

“What attracted me to BRAC JPGSPH was its diverse faculty consisting of global health professionals and its field-based experiential teaching method. The field experience at the School altered me intrinsically. JPGSPH is a place that not only provides theoretical knowledge but also helps provide real-world experiences regarding public health issues.”
