At Health Services Academy (HSA), our Department of Global Health is
committed to advancing global health through education, research, and
collaboration. We offer a variety of programs designed to equip students with the
knowledge and skills needed to address complex global health challenges.
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. 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. I am keen to engage with
prospective students, policymakers, and global health practitioners on a directional learning
experience.
As the Program Coordinator, I am pleased to invite you to participate in our specialized postgraduate diplomas in global health security, diplomacy, and HRH migration at the Health Services Academy, Islamabad.

As a degree-awarding institute under the Ministry of National Health Services, HSA is dedicated to high-quality teaching, training, and research. This innovative program aims to broaden your understanding of global health and open doors to exciting professional opportunities at both national and international levels.
