Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Management

The BA in Healthcare Management produces skilled executives on Health Administration and Economics. Specifically, it covers a wide range of must-have knowledge and vital skills that are now considered necessary by health professionals to address current problems of administration and finance, both in designing, planning and managing of health services.

The importance of education in Health and Management has always considered an important element due to the crucial provision of health care services from different organizations as well as the notable risks that are related to health care provision to a different number of people. The rationale of the programme is to enable students to gain skills in planning, organizing and monitoring healthcare organizations rather than technical skills. This programme also relies on the rational that management is related to a systematic approach of organizations in related industries therefore it is important that students understand how healthcare systems and organizations can function efficiently. Additionally, the programme is designed based on the rationale that the health care industry requires highly skilful managers while dealing with their crucial health care provision towards management of finances, organizing employees and resources in healthcare facilities, and daily general operations of hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and other related organizations. The program has an interdisciplinary basis, focusing on Management and Health Economics (hospital administration, human resources, total quality management, financing and planning of health services, economic evaluation), but also negotiation and basic subjects in the fields of Public Health of Epidemiology, Sociology of Health and Sanitary Engineering, designed to educate students on the wider field.
