Introducing: Public Health Management at SBCS GLI!

Published: 6:00 AM on July 01, 2020

In any undertaking, the key to proper implementation is effective management. In health, this is critical as any wrong decision taken or poorly executed can result in injury or even death. Only an effective and efficient management practice can translate theory, research and scientific innovation into practical solutions for healthcare. The public health challenges being faced by countries now call for the continued development of qualified professionals who can execute and monitor national health policies and programmes, supervise the public health workforce, investigate and assess the dimensions of public health issues and devise appropriate strategies to meet emerging challenges. 

It is against this backdrop that SBCS Global Learning Institute is pleased to introduce the Diploma in Public Health Management in partnership with ABMA Education – an awarding body that offers both regulated and professional qualifications.

A Level 4 qualification, this programme seeks to equip learners with the latest thinking on Public Health Management; a subject area that is challenging, extremely rewarding and most relevant to the issues facing the world at this time. It can be taken as a standalone qualification, or as part of your progression through our Public Health pathway that includes our BSc (Hons) Occupational, Safety, Health & Environment (Top-up), MSc Safety, Health & Environment / Occupational Hygiene and our Master of Business Administration.
