Mr. Obura Raphael

A Public Health Specialist, Clinician, and University Lecturer with 19 years of professional experience in Uganda’s health sector, covering clinical practice, public health programming, and higher education teaching. I have a strong interest and growing track record in university teaching, student assessment, and academic mentorship, supported by formal training in Medical Education and extensive field experience.

Since June 2025, I have been serving as an Assistant Lecturer in the Faculty of Public Health at Lira University, where I teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses, assess students, support academic mentorship, and participate in curriculum development and other faculty academic activities. My teaching emphasizes clear conceptual understanding, practical application of public health principles, and learner-centred approaches, drawing on real clinical and health
systems experience.

Alongside my academic experience, I have over 13 years of experience in the leadership and implementation of USAID/PEPFAR-funded HIV and TB programmes, as well as five years of frontline clinical service within district local governments. This background enables me to link theory with practice in the classroom and to prepare students for
real-world public health and clinical work.
