eHealth Academy DBA

The program explores some of the greatest challenges and opportunities facing business today. It is designed for business professionals who want to apply modern information and communication technology for new advanced services in healthcare practice with a focus on developing countries. Concentrations are offered in Management and Marketing.
eHealth is playing a very important role in healthcare delivery in developing countries, where the acute shortage of doctors, nurses and paramedics is directly proportional to the enormous unsatisfied demand for health services. Some developing countries have already successfully implemented pilot eHealth projects. They are also looking forward to proceeding further by considering the development of eHealth master plans, as recommended by the World Health Organization in its Resolution WHA58.28 in May 2005. The latter aims at reducing disparities with regard to medical services between urban and rural areas and pays special attention to the least developed countries (LDCs). Yet, the implementations of eHealth in developing world has not reached the necessary level in order significantly to influence the healthcare systems.
