He obtained a PhD in Sociology from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.

He was later involved in research and teaching activities at the University of the Witwatersrand. Dr Tamukamoyo has also been engaged in various fee based and pro bono consultancy activities for entities based in the Southern African region and on the greater African continent.

Research interests: Health Policy and Health Systems; Globalisation and Health. “I have a passion for Southern Africa and how it is engaging with the globe. My research passions are driven by the belief that it is imperative for African researchers to generate cutting-edge, field-work based knowledge and it’s essential that this knowledge connects with the needs of people on the continent”.

Current research projects: The District Innovation, Action and Learning for Health System development project (DIALHS)
