Hello, I found this really helpful as I am also in a similar dilemma and would like to know more- You've mentioned about doctorate PhD programme, so as MBBS graduates are we eligible to apply directly to the PhD programme or do we need an MD/MS degree before that? Could you please elaborate a bit about this?

Hi, yes you can do an MPH or MSPH or even MSc (last one specifically for subjects like epidemiology or health policy) after MBBS or you can enroll in a doctorate PhD programme as well. After MBBS and MPH there are possibilities to work for national or international NGOs on a good package. After PhD academics is a better choice. If you are good in mathematics then do consider epidemiology and biostatistics otherwise international health or similar others are also not bad choices. Hope this helps!
