HEALTH SERVICES MANAGEMENT

Health management is considered an important skill area for Environmental Health

professionals. This Health Management module thus forms one of the core module

of the bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health. The module covers three key

management areas: principles of management, planning and resource management; health systems in Rwanda and quality assurance. Through exploring these areas, the module aims to provide information and assistance at a practical level, continually referring the student to management issues within their own context. As management is cross-cutting in relation to other Public Health fields, the student is also expected to relate much of the

management study material to the contexts of the other program modules.
