ORGANISATIONS<br>
<br>
This is a one-week intensive program to enhance the leadership and<br>
management skills of program managers and leaders of Sub-Saharan African<br>
organisations, governmental and non-governmental, that are devoted to<br>
delivering health care services to underserved populations. The program has<br>
been specifically designed to assist African ministries of health in<br>
implementing their particular national health priorities. Nearly 600<br>
participants from 22 African countries have already graduated from the<br>
precursor to this program. The prior version of the MDI was focused solely<br>
on HIV/AIDS. Starting with 2011, the program's new focus will be expanded<br>
to health systems, generally, and will invite participation of those<br>
involved in implementing national health priorities in the areas not only<br>
of communicable diseases, of which HIV/AIDS is one, but also chronic<br>
diseases. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes, in particular among chronic<br>
diseases, will become increasingly responsible for the overall burden of<br>
disease and for the accompanying financial burden for treatment in<br>
sub-Saharan Africa.<br>
<br>
The program has been designed by world-class management faculty from the<br>
UCLA Anderson School of Management at the University of California at Los<br>
Angeles (UCLA) and by leaders of the African Medical and Research<br>
Foundation (AMREF). The MDI is delivered by instructors from UCLA, AMREF<br>
and by outstanding faculty from other African universities, including the<br>
Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), and the<br>
Graduate School of Business at the University of Cape Town (UCT). The<br>
program is funded by Johnson & Johnson, one of the most admired companies<br>
in the world today. The language of instruction in all programs is<br>
English.<br>
