Overview

Public Health and Health Equity from Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) includes, among others, the inequalities in health and healthcare; the double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases; the unfolding demographic transition; and the health needs in fragile and conflict-affected settings. These challenges disproportionately affect disadvantaged populations worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

After the master’s programme, you will be able to:

Critically examine current and emerging health issues, analyse determinants and identify needs, in different population groups.
Appraise the role of health systems in terms of goals, functions, actors and performance.
Identify research needs, appraise research methods and results, generate ethically sound evidence, and translate results into policy and practice.
Develop, implement, and monitor and evaluate, cost-effective, quality, and community-centred programmes and interventions.
