To contribute to progress in the implementation of future business models in medical services, the first edition of Health System Management began on May 12th, with more than 40 participants, including health sector managers and professionals from various Mexican states.

This new 100% online executive program of TecSalud and EGADE Business School - Tecnológico de Monterrey, with the collaboration of the Mexican Hospital Consortium, has been designed for those facing current and future challenges in health service management within the context of transformation and post-pandemic recovery.

Participating in the welcome session were: Guillermo Torre, Rector of TecSalud and Vice President of Research at Tecnológico de Monterrey; Pablo Buitrón, Associate Dean of Executive Education at EGADE Business School; and Javier Potes, Director of the Mexican Hospital Consortium.

“The health systems in our country and Latin America need to change to face the realities of the health and economic problems, as well as the needs of the population in the communities where we operate. This TecSalud and EGADE Business School program, with the collaboration of the Mexican Hospital Consortium, represents an initial effort to tackle these problems,” Torre explained.

The program was presented by Jorge Azpiri, General Director of Hospital San José and TecSalud’s Director of Development and Expansion Projects, and Lydia Garza, Academic Lead of Health System Management.
