Abstract
States regard universities as national think tanks providing
strategic leadership in new knowledge generation and
developing innovative solutions to societal problems.
Institutional objectives of any university include teaching,
research and service to society. Universities are thus central for
the advancement of knowledge, generation and development
of human capital, and innovations aimed at solving societal
challenges and sustainable development. In a fast-changing
world due to population growth, technological transformations,
emerging and re-emerging diseases and increased mobility,
the key challenge to universities is how to remain relevant in
meeting societal expectations.
The article highlights key challenges experienced by higher
education institutions (HEIs), especially in health education,
and proposes strategies that would help transform HE
institutions in LICs for the future.
