The healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing and constantly evolving industries in the world. The industry in Africa is also rapidly changing and has to face challenges such as resurgence of old diseases such as tuberculosis as well as an increase in chronic diseases caused by a growing aging population. Healthcare providers must also be able to understand and evaluate new dynamics such as health managed organisations, rapid advancement in the medical and information technology, increased competition and growing demands for greater transparency from patients.

The effort to combat disease and epidemics, poverty and inequities and manage the changing healthcare landscape calls for competent human capital in the healthcare industry. To develop this capital, Strathmore and IESE Business Schools in collaboration with the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) have developed the EHMP.

The program provides a unique opportunity to healthcare professionals to develop and enhance specific skill sets and leadership qualities that are required to create high performing healthcare organisations.
