Introduction To MBA – Healthcare Management
Overview
The healthcare industry is one of the most diverse and dynamic industries in the world. Access to healthcare on the other hand is a right under many constitutions around the world, Kenya and East Africa included, and indeed its effective provision is dependent on the existence of proactive policy and legislative framework, infrastructure, demographics, epidemiological factors among others. Its efficient provision is however more dependent on the size and quality of its healthcare workforce. Whereas there is a lack of front-line and specialist medical personnel, there is an attendant lack of a professional class of healthcare managers.
Indeed many National Health Sector Strategic Plans recognize weak management systems as one of the factors contributing to the decline of the health status of their populations.
Programme Delivery
The programme will run for 6 semesters over a 30 month period. The total course loading will be eighteen (18) course units plus a Dissertation.
Mode of Study
- Modular (2 weeks, quarterly in a year)
The programme aims to equip managers with relevant skills for leading and managing the various facets and challenges that confront professional hospital and clinic managers, managers of NGO and faith-based health providers, and professionals in the emerging insurance, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries.
Students who graduate with an MBA in Healthcare Management will have the academic grounding needed to move throughout health-related industries at different junctures of their career, and more importantly, will have life-long skills to respond to the fundamental changes that characterize African healthcare.
