Master of Public Health - Maternal, Child and Family Health in Charlotte United States | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Gillings School is committed to advancing health outcomes for women, children, and families—both locally in North Carolina and internationally. While women and children constitute the majority of the world's population, historical evidence demonstrates that without targeted focus, their healthcare requirements often remain unmet.
Furthermore, the wellbeing of this vital demographic serves as a crucial measure of overall population health throughout the lifespan. These priorities are mirrored in the World Health Organization's current objectives and worldwide approach, with women, children, and adolescents being central to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Maternal, Child and Family Health specialization examines the factors and systems that support family health and safety, aiming to improve societal welfare for current and future generations. Through comprehensive training in program development and evaluation methodologies, this program prepares graduates with versatile skills to spearhead multidisciplinary initiatives requiring diverse expertise in both local and international settings.
