Program description
Master of Public Health - Management of Health Systems
Our MPH with a specialization track in Management of Health Systems appeals to those wishing to study health systems as a means to improving health outcomes. Students will investigate the internal processes of health systems, gaining a clear understanding of how to manage and lead healthcare delivery at all levels – from local through to international – with a view to improving health. They should acquire a set of skills preparing them for senior positions in the Health and Local Government sector.
Modules include Health Promotion, Comparative Health Systems and Advanced Management, and Health and Social Policy. This track also investigates the need to strengthen national, regional and international health systems by identifying the reasons of poor health delivery. Elements that influence the delivery of sufficient health systems such as weak governance, infrastructure, information systems, planning and human resources will be addressed.
