New Programme: Health Management MBA The IMBA specialisation in Health Management seeks to broaden the knowledge base necessary for managing and achieving effectiveness within a modern health sector. The idea for the specialisation arose out of the growing urgency to address the educational and training needs of the health sector. The specialisation is designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health sector’s limited resources and train the people needed to match the proposed expansion of the sector as outlined in the Vision 2020 National Development Plan. It includes courses in Health Care Management, Service Quality in Health Care, Human Resource Management in Health Services, Healthcare Accounting and Financial Management, Strategic Management, Health Economics and Health Management Information Systems. Students must do at least five of these courses in order to be awarded the specialisation in Health Management. Graduates of the programme are expected to be equipped with the skills for institutional strengthening and support for a sector which continues to be subjected to significant outward migration. The International MBA programme is accredited by the UK’s Association of MBAs. Apart from the Health Management Specialisation, students enrolled in the IMBA may choose to specialise in Human Resource Management, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, International Finance, Energy Business Management and International Marketing Management.
