Academic Outcome

Critical assessment of health systems and managerial applications. Ethics, legal frameworks, and policy analysis in healthcare management.

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 the 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 frontline 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.

The program 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 health care.
