The health care manager is a highly specialized professional, able to combine management skills with a knowledge of economics, finance, statistics, epidemiology and health policy.

The MBA – Health Management program provides expertise and training in management and administration and is of relevance for those working within the private and government sectors. The Health Management program has an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to prepare graduates for providing the necessary expertise to manage health services most effectively.

The program is designed to develop technically competent and socially sensitive managers for leadership roles in hospitals, health systems management, pharmaceutical industries and population programs.

The program includes lectures, case studies and a research project.

The MBA – Health Management (Health, Hospital, Pharmaceutical and Population Management) sector program is designed to cater to market demand for health managers, in the fields of preventive health, hospital, pharmaceutical and population management.

Students graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in General Science, Pharmacy or Medicine and Surgery from Pakistani institutions lack management background as the present educational structure does not provide them with an option to blend management courses with their medical training.

The two year MBA – Health Management Program is designed in such a way that it provides students with ten Business Core Courses and an opportunity to select four Business Electives. The business core courses provide students with a sound management base, while the four business electives direct them towards their area of concentration.

The business base is complemented by four Core Health Management courses and six Health Electives (amongst a choice of nineteen listed health electives). A supervised Research Project of six credit hours provides students with an opportunity to apply curricular concepts and skills to problems in organizational setting.

The semester structure blends complementing management/health core and elective courses. This concentrated approach provides students with an opportunity to relate and draw parallels between health and business courses.

The Two Year MBA – Health Management (Health, Hospital, Pharmaceutical and Population Management) program is offered on weekends. A total of 24 core and elective courses (75 credit hours) are required to complete the program.

The courses are divided into four modules:

1. Health Management

2. Hospital Administration

3. Pharmaceutical Administration

4. Population Management

Students weak in English and Communication skills are required to take an additional "Business English"* course to enhance knowledge of the language.

During the final semester a course of "Interpersonal Communication Skills" is also offered. This prepares students for GMAT testing techniques and methods for improving their score.
