At Health Services Academy (HSA), our Department of Global Health is
committed to advancing global health through education, research, and

I am delighted to warmly welcome you as a lead of the global health academic program at the Health Services Academy. We are pleased to offer several postgraduate diplomas specializing in various areas of global health, including global health security, diplomacy and human resource management.
The global health landscape is swiftly evolving, influenced by the profound impacts of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. In this dynamic environment, there is an urgent need for experts who can comprehend the intricate linkages between climate change, epidemics, pandemics, and cross-border determinants of diseases and their global responses. We have crafted our programs to cultivate these experts, providing them with the essential knowledge and skills to navigate global health complexities efficiently and address the challenges effectively.
We are confident that our graduates will be well-prepared to accept challenges, mount responses, and make careers in the global health space. I am keen to engage with prospective students, policymakers and global health practitioners on a directional learning experience. Together, let us embark on a journey of learning, innovation, and meaningful contributions to the global health discourse. I am positively anticipating a successful and enriching academic journey and partnerships ahead.
