In a proud moment of accomplishment, Ogweno Stephen has successfully graduated from the prestigious University of Manchester, earning his Master’s Degree in Public Health with a specialization in Global Health. The journey, generously sponsored by The Commonwealth, marks a significant chapter in Ogweno’s pursuit of becoming a distinguished Global Public Health physician.

Ogweno’s academic tenure in Manchester was nothing short of extraordinary. From his feature on the university blog in the initial year to making impactful presentations at the International Public Health Conference, his two-year primary research project on Health Tech in five countries received the distinguished recognition it deserved – a Distinction Award. A heartfelt appreciation extends to parents, friends, and notable professors, including the influential figures of Roger Harrison and Aparna Verma, who played pivotal roles as unwavering mentors throughout this transformative academic expedition.

A remarkable highlight during Ogweno’s Manchester journey was a meaningful reunion with Professor Roger Harrison. Their collaboration resulted in the co-authorship of a nationally recognized NCD Module, specifically tailored for schools and communities.

This groundbreaking toolkit serves as a comprehensive educational resource, receiving acclaim for its efficacy in training and enlightening individuals on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and broader Public Health concerns at a national level. The NCD Module, born from the synergistic efforts of Ogweno Stephen and Professor Roger, stands as a testament to their commitment to providing robust educational solutions.

Its broad adoption on a national scale underscores its significance, making a lasting impact on fostering awareness and knowledge about the intricate connections between health and lifestyle choices.

As Ogweno embarks on this new chapter, armed with knowledge, experience, and an unwavering commitment to global health, his graduation is not just a personal triumph but a contribution to the collective journey toward a healthier, more informed world. Congratulations, Ogweno Stephen, on reaching this remarkable milestone!
