Summary:

"Health Services Management as a specialized field of study is for people interested in the systematic understanding of organizational principles, practices, and insights pertinent to the management of health services organizations. Like any public sector organization, the health sectors have been affected by the changing political, social and economic conditions in developed and developing countries. To address these problems requires training of professionals with the latest advances in organizational and managerial thinking. The University of Ghana Readers volume from the Department of Public Administration and Health Services Management interrogates the myriad of management challenges that confront the public healthcare system in Ghana and suggests how health professionals can navigate them. The volume provides a platform for practitioners and health sector executives to examine issues that relate to health service administration, management and health policy programmes. The selected readings in the volume will also be useful to undergraduate and graduate students of business, public administration, medicine, nursing, pharmacy public health, and other health professionals whose work dovetails into leadership and managerial responsibilities in health sector organizations."--Back cover.
