Why a business school and MBA dedicated to health?
Health has emerged as the most important issue of the 21st century, and accounts for more than 10% of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is approximately $7-8 trillion annually. The COVID-19 pandemic brought into focus the impact of health on communities and exposed deficiencies in healthcare systems and policies, while highlighting an ever diverse and disjointed sector. New thinking for a sustainable model of healthcare is needed now more than ever. The UCL GBSH and our DBA Health programme were established in response to this, underpinned by World Health Organisation goals and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of achieving universal health coverage for all.
