Improve capacity for education of PMD and BPH for Central provinces and Highland area.

On the 26th of September, 2012, Assoc. Prof. Vo Van Thang - Dean of the Public Health faculty -  declared that the first exclusive building for Public Health higher education in the Central and Highlands area of Vietnam was finished and operational. The modern and high quality building supplies a good environment for teaching and learning that can contribute to enhancing the quality of medical education for the Central and Highlands area in particular and for the whole nation in general.

The Public Health faculty building at Hue UMP was sponsored by Atlantic Philanthropies (AP-USA) with the total expenditure of about $2.5 million USD. With a modern design of 4000 square metres, including offices, lecture halls and laboratories, it has enough rooms for the education of 200 preventative medicine doctors and bachelor of public health students for Vietnam, most of whom will work in the Central and Highlands area.

From 2007, Hue UMP has participated in the project titled ‘Improve capacity for faculties of Public Health in Vietnam’, led by Prof. Michael Dunne from Queensland University of Technology. With the support of Prof. Dunne, Hue UMP has provided public health education to the masters and doctoral level , sent graduate students to study abroad and compiled and improved the curricula for the Bachelor and Masters of Public Health courses.
