About NOZGEKA Project
In collaboration with the University of Münster and the University Hospital Freiburg, and the University of Livingstonia and the Mzuzu University, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) leads a consortium of these five partners in the implementation of a pandemic preparedness (NOZGEKA) project aimed at establishing a Master of Science in Public Health with a focus on Infectious Disease Epidemiology. This academic program will be implemented at both the University of Livingstonia (UNILIA) and the Mzuzu University (MZUNI) in Malawi. We launched the NOZGEKA project in 2023 and expect to recruit the first cohort of master students in 2025. After successful completion of the training program, graduates will be qualified to perform high standard epidemiological studies and infectious diseases modelling, as well as effectively leading public health responses in times of epidemics or pandemics, and routine endemic diseases control programs in Malawi and beyond.
