Covid-19 increases demand for healthcare industry professionals

For instance, there is a growing, critical need for forward-thinking professionals to chart new pathways for worldwide healthcare industries. An MBA in Healthcare Management from Regent Business School, plugs into this demand, empowering healthcare executives with the latest knowledge and skills in business and hospital management to overcome the extraordinary challenges facing today’s healthcare industry.

Expanding field that offers stability and growth. Worldwide, governments, including South Africa, are building more hospitals and setting up additional healthcare facilities and systems to deal with the Covid-19 crisis. This inevitably calls for more professionals who are trained to handle healthcare systems with a comprehensive understanding of the different dimensions of the industry.

It’s a smart upskill or reskill: You may be a parent who wants to give your child a better life; you may be a high-flying healthcare executive who longs for ‘something bigger and better’; or you may be a socially-driven citizen who’s determined to create a better, safer world. Upskilling or reskilling with an MBA in Healthcare Management opens up unlimited potential and possibilities to do better and be better. The qualification arms you with knowledge and skills to lead and manage health professionals, and health systems and services, boosting employability prospects.

Make a difference. Healthcare managers and leaders pave the way from public health and community preventive services, to primary healthcare, emergency health services, hospital services and rehabilitation and palliative care, to tertiary level healthcare services.
