The program is designed to ensure that participants:

• understand the epidemiological factors and the political, economic and social context of healthcare management from an international perspective;
• understand the political process and strategy which drive the international health arena

The challenging learning experience is enriched with intensive cultural exchange between participants coming from variety of backgrounds and from different parts of the world.
