Rapid changes in modern healthcare delivery systems have increased the need for efficient management of healthcare resources, and the demand for well-trained and competent healthcare management specialists. The NUS MBA Specialisation in Healthcare Management, offered in partnership with NUS' Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, aims at integrating global healthcare best practices within the Asian framework, to transform the management of healthcare services.
