UGHE is an initiative of Partners In
Health (PIH), an internationally recognized non-profit organization whose
mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. In
over nearly three decades of operating alongside public sectors in countries
around the world, PIH has developed a model to deliver high quality health care
to some of the world’s most marginalized communities. Nowhere has this impact
been more profound than in Rwanda, where Inshuti Mu Buzima—PIH’s sister
organization—and our government partners have driven innovation for a
decade.

Course Description
MGHCD reviews strategy and management practices in
global health programs and explores the essential components of high-value
programs. MGHCD trains managers to apply, to test, and to refine current
frameworks in health care delivery. Students will learn important managerial,
administrative, and financial tools and theories to define and to achieve
organizational goals and to create programmatic implementation plans.
Students will study the theory and practice of health care delivery, the role
of different organizations within the health system, how they function in
relation to one another, and how leaders can effect change. The course
highlights the array of stakeholder relationships which characterize global
health, including relationships with purchasers, government leaders, health
care providers, NGOs, and patients. Designed as an active-learning course, the
course is heavily practice- and case-based. Students will utilize these skills
to experience how the techniques enable effective attainment of health
outcomes. The curriculum will draw from the Global Health Delivery (GHD) and
Harvard Business School case collections.
