Welcome to the Ziauddin College of Public Health, a pioneering institution dedicated to advancing the field of public health and shaping the future of population well-being. We are thrilled to embark on this transformative journey, committed to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and passion to address the complex health challenges of our time.

In an era where health concerns transcend borders, where the global population faces emerging diseases, environmental threats, and health disparities, the need for qualified public health professionals has never been more crucial. At Ziauddin College of Public Health, we believe that through education, research, and community engagement, we can drive positive change and create healthier societies for generations to come.

Our college’s foundation is built upon a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses the social, biological, environmental, and behavioral aspects of public health. By integrating diverse disciplines such as epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy, environmental health, and health promotion, we provide a comprehensive education that prepares students to tackle complex health issues from multiple perspectives.

The faculty at Ziauddin College of Public Health consists of renowned scholars, practitioners, and researchers who bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the classroom. With their guidance and mentorship, students will have the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research, participate in community-based projects, and collaborate with local and global partners to implement evidence-based interventions.

One of our core principles is to foster an inclusive and collaborative learning environment that embraces diversity and promotes cultural competency. We believe that the richness of perspectives and backgrounds within our student body and faculty enhances the educational experience, equipping graduates with the necessary skills to address health disparities and promote health equity across diverse populations.

At Ziauddin College of Public Health, we recognize that the future of public health lies not only in academia but also in real-world application. Therefore, we have established strong partnerships with public health agencies, non-profit organizations, healthcare systems, and governmental bodies to provide students with invaluable hands-on experiences and internships that bridge theory and practice.

Through our commitment to excellence, innovation, and social responsibility, we aim to become a global leader in public health education and research. We aspire to produce graduates who possess the analytical rigor, critical thinking, and leadership skills necessary to navigate the complexities of public health and drive meaningful change in their communities.

We invite you to join us on this transformative journey as we embark on a mission to improve population health, advocate for social justice, and create a healthier and more equitable world. Together, let us shape the future of public health and inspire a new generation of public health leaders and champions. Welcome to Ziauddin College of Public Health, where we empower individuals to make a difference in the health of populations.

Principal Message

Ziauddin College of Dentistry has a goal to not only provide a first-class education to our students but to also improve the overall health and well-being of our community. However, with the rapid developments in Dental Technology, Dental Curriculum, and its teaching strategies there is a constant need for up gradation to meet the emerging challenges.

At ZDC, we strive to ensure a seamless transition from the pre-clinical years to real-life patient care. One of the tools we have incorporated in our curriculum is the use of virtual dental simulators for the first time ever in Pakistan.

These virtual simulators provide an interactive and immersive learning experience for our students, allowing them to practice internationally accredited exercises of various dental procedures in a realistic virtual environment.

We have an excellent blend of foreign and locally trained postgraduate faculty. Also, the Postgraduate programmes offered at ZCD are in great demand across the country and fully recognized by Higher Education Commission (HEC) & Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).

Moreover, we have a vibrant community of alumni spread across the country and abroad.

I hope the years you spend at ZCD will be productive and memorable.
