Bio
The first Malaysian doctor to gain a PhD in Health Informatics, Dr Awang Bulgiba is also the first public health physician in Malaysia to accumulate these 4 fellowships (FFPH, FPHMM, FAMM and FASc).
Dr Awang Bulgiba was Secretary-General for the Academy of Sciences Malaysia and Council Member for the Academy of Medicine Malaysia from 2019 to 2023.

Dr Awang Bulgiba was DVC (A&I) for the University of Malaya (UM) from 2015 to 2018 and oversaw a period of great change in the portfolio. The A&I portfolio went through a period of restructuring and transformation, greatly improving UM’s academic reputation and internationalisation which contributed to an extraordinary rise in UM’s QS world rank from 151 in 2014/15 to 70 in 2019/20. Before being appointed DVC (A&I), Dr Awang Bulgiba was DVC (R&I) in UM from 2012 to 2015. He continues to sit on the editorial board of the Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health (APJPH) and several national committees such as the National Committee on Research Integrity, MoHE R&D Funds Steering Committee and MOSTI R&D Expert Panel. Dr Awang Bulgiba is also a member of the Inter-Academy Partnership (IAP) for Urban Health.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Awang Bulgiba was appointed by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) to head the COVID-19 Epidemiological Analysis and Strategies (CEASe) research project and the Independent COVID-19 Vaccination Advisory Committee (ICVAC). A book (“Viewpoints during a pandemic”) on his COVID-19-related opinions which were expressed from March 2020 to May 2022 was published in October 2022. This book is available in the National Library of Malaysia as well as several public university libraries.
Dr Awang Bulgiba has been an external examiner and assessor for several Malaysian and foreign universities and was Chair for the University of Malaya Wellness Programme (2007-2009). In addition, Dr Awang Bulgiba was the Malaysian coordinator for the Asia-Europe Clinical Epidemiology & Evidence-Based Medicine Programme (2007-2010), which was a 4-way collaborative effort between UM, University Medical Centre, Utrecht and Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Oxford and the Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta. This collaborative effort resulted in him founding and heading the Julius Centre UM (JCUM) from 2008 to 2012. JCUM is now known as the Centre for Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Practice (CEBP) and is the most productive epidemiology research centre in Malaysia.
In 2008, Dr Awang Bulgiba was the Organising Chair for the 40th APACPH Conference (7-9 Nov 2008), which was the fastest APACPH Conference to be organised, a mere 10 weeks from award to actual conference. In 2012 he was the Organising Chair for the 1st Asia Pacific Clinical Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Medicine (APCEEBM) Conference (6-8 July 2012) and in 2015 he was the Organising Chair for the 3rd Asian Population Association Conference (27-30 July 2015). Dr Awang Bulgiba has published more than 100 Web of Science-indexed journal articles. He was the lead author for “Strengthening Academic Career Pathways and Leadership Development”, a book used for the University Transformation Programme in Malaysia. As Project Director, Dr Awang Bulgiba headed a team which completed Malaysia’s National Policy for Science, Technology and Innovation 2021-2030 (NPSTI 2021-2030). NPSTI 2021-2030 was launched in 2020 and is now setting the direction for science, technology and innovation (STI) development in Malaysia until 2030.
Dr Awang Bulgiba was awarded the Ma’al Hijrah Award for Outstanding Achievements in Research and Development in 2013 and the Johan Bintang Kenyalang in 2014, both by the Sarawak State Government.
