MSHP background information

The Management Society for Healthcare Professionals (MSHP) was established since 1984. The ultimate aim of the Society is to advance and promote healthcare services and patient care through professional and better management. “To promote Better Healthcare by Good Management” is our mission. The Society is devoted to promoting the professional status of Healthcare Managers through professional and educational activities.

MSHP firmly believes good management of healthcare services is based on a multi-disciplinary approach with professionals from many disciplines working together for the common goal of achieving better health for all. These disciplines involve professionals like doctors, nurses, allied healthcare professionals, pharmacists, social scientists, architects, business managers, marketing experts, information technology people, insurance managers and many others. MSHP is recognized as a pioneer and highly reputable educational institution, locally and internationally. As early as mid 1980s, MSHP launched a “Healthcare Management Diploma Course” jointly with the University of Hong Kong. Since then MSHP has delivered many courses for Healthcare Managers, including the “First-line Healthcare Management Certificate Course”. Later MSHP offered the same course together with the City University of Hong Kong, plus the “Advanced Healthcare Management Certificate Course”.
