MPH programs are available nationally and world wide. One such national program is being run by Health Services Academy, Islamabad. In addition you should compete for Fulbright scholarships, which can allow you to do MPH in some prestigious U.S universities such as Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore), Harvard University (Boston), UCLA school of Public Health(California), School of public health Houston, Texas, etc.

Unfortunately Fulbright Graduate Student Program is not open to Medical students and doctors (for reasons better Known to them)
Please visit this FAQs link
