Message from the Programme Director

The healthcare sector is among Pakistan’s fastest-growing industries. It is one where executives with focused managerial expertise are severely lacking. Operationally and administratively, healthcare establishments can deliver more effective and efficient service if the right level of education is made available. Many individuals working in medical organisations seek possibilities to earn a professional management degree without career interruption. Therefore, the Suleman Dawood School of Business has launched the Master of Science in Healthcare Management and Innovation programme, which will run mainly on the weekends.

The programme covers broad business areas and specialist courses in health management and innovations. On-campus learning can be coupled with placement in related industry organisations, or if desired, within the current organisation where you work. You will learn about the changes in the healthcare ecosystem and gain exposure to emerging innovations. Your studies will deeply integrate business principles; offering novel pathways for healthcare provisions that are more effective and managerially adept. Participants in the MS programme will find themselves reaching new heights of understanding and effort, and will benefit from the contributions of others while bringing their own insights, healthcare knowledge, clinical expertise, and managerial experience to the overall learning experience. It will also enable you to lead change in healthcare management, innovation and progress.

We look forward to welcoming you to the MS in Healthcare Management and Innovation programme!
