Message from Program Director

Health initiatives in developing countries often falter not due to a lack of scientific knowledge but because of insufficient managerial skills. These skills are crucial for a manager's success, as they enhance the performance and productivity of organizations. Addressing public health challenges in these nations requires qualified professionals who can strategize, implement, and oversee national health programs and initiatives, which is vital for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare delivery systems.

The IPHMDP aims to develop the skills and competencies of middle and senior-level program managers, academicians, and public health professionals to tackle public health challenges and strengthen organizational efficiency in resource-limited settings. We are thrilled by the overwhelming response from participants worldwide who have shown great interest in this program. After a rigorous selection process, participants have been chosen to become ambassadors of IPHMDP's offline and online courses.

IPHMDP's teaching methodology focuses on a learner-centered approach, promoting active engagement, use of gamification technique, practical application, and collaborative learning. The program employs diverse instructional strategies and tools to enhance knowledge acquisition, skill development, and critical thinking in public health management. I sincerely hope this program will provide a unique platform for advancing academic expertise, knowledge transfer, and idea exchange, offering numerous opportunities for academicians and program managers from both government and private sectors to develop strong management capabilities. The discussions and deliberations will lead to effective solutions for complex public health management issues.

We also encourage lifelong learning and networking among participants. Alumni networks, conferences, and webinars offer avenues for continued professional development, knowledge sharing, and collaboration even after completing the course. We hope you all become ambassadors for this program within your organizations and social media groups.
