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.
