MakSPH Celebrates Two New PhDs Advancing Public Health Research

@Makerere University School of Public Health warmly congratulates Dr. @EdwinahAtusingw and Dr. @NtaroMoses on the successful defence of their doctoral studies, an important milestone for the School and its contribution to rigorous, policy-relevant public health scholarship.

Dr. Ntaro defended his PhD at MakSPH on Thursday, December 11, 2025, while Dr. Atusingwize successfully completed her defence today, December 15, 2025, at @umeauniversity. Together, these achievements reflect School’s continued commitment to training scholars whose research addresses pressing health and social challenges in Uganda and beyond.

Regular alcohol use is significantly associated with moderate to high levels of general social media use, alcohol-related social media use, and alcohol-related lurking/passive participation on social media. Cross-sectional study undertaken @Makerere shows https://t.co/g7Zy3vouoc

Very troubled to see new & very aggressive #alcohol marketing in #Kampala #Uganda this month. Large adverts that clearly violate industry marketing standards. Alcohol marketing ➡️youth drinking. We need to protect the youth. https://t.co/gR78Ilpk4V @PolicyUganda @IOGT_EA

We have an astonishingly personal and precise God.

The kind of God who counts the stars and calls them by name.
Who clothes the fields with flowers.
Who tells the ocean just how far it can go.
Who paints the most exquisite sunsets, even if no one notice… https://t.co/bIoSP8xa6F
