Celebrating Davidson Ndyabahika's Contribution to MakSPH

For six years, @dndyaba was the voice behind @Makerere University School Public Health's public face, translating complex research into narratives that reached policymakers, partners, and the public, building the School's visibility across Uganda and beyond, and doing all of it with professionalism, creativity, integrity, and unwavering commitment.

His humility, reliability, and the positive energy he brought to our community have left a mark that will endure well beyond his time here.

MakSPH is better for the six years you gave it, Davidson.

Please join the School in wishing him every success in his next chapter. We are grateful he chose to spend this one with us.
