NEW PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH PROMOTION


PROJECT OVERVIEW

The existing health care system in ENPI south region (orientated towardsspecialists) is not in position to combat the numerous health problemsrelated to the living environment and lifestyles of the population.Furthermore, the existing knowledge in public health is still based on thetraditional bio-medical approach, which is inadequate to provide solutionfor the current health and health policy priorities.


Specialists’ knowledge in the field of public health is confined withindifferent and particular specialist branches (epidemiology, hygiene, socialmedicine, health statistics and informatics, and occupational medicine).Overall public health is medically orientated, with very little participation ofother professions in the design and implementation of its programmes andactivities. The education of public health personnel is not multi-professional(which can best be achieved in postgraduate programmes).



PROJECT OVERVIEW

In order to meet the above mentioned needs as well as to train new public health professionals and successful managers of health care institutions, the Master of Health Policy and Management course must be developed. The programme will provide public health professionals en ENPI SOUTH Region with the necessary skills in contemporary management and policy analysis, with the knowledge to use these skills effectively, and to develop the values that are essential for addressing the unique problems and humanistic goals of health care and public health.
