Partnership Profile

The Sparkman Center for Global Health is working on capacity building goals with the University of Zambia (UNZA), with collaborative activities ranging from technology infrastructure upgrades for better access to medical and public health literature to enhanced teaching and research at the UNZA School of Medicine and the University Teaching Hospital, and sponsorship of both short-and-long term Zambian scholars through the UAB International Public Health Summer Institute and UAB School of Public Health MPH programs. In 2008, the Sparkman Center signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Chainama Hills College of Health Sciences in Lusaka to develop the existing Certificate Course in Public Health.
