Health Projects
Equip yourself for employment in Aotearoa’s rapidly growing heath infrastructure field.
Subject overview
Channel your project management career into a growing health infrastructure sector. Governments are investing capital in health infrastructure projects as the world population ages and population growth projections soar. The New Zealand Ministry of Health has allocated a substantial investment over the next 20 years to upgrade current facilities and meet regional demand. The industry needs your leadership to successfully implement these critical health projects.
Where can Health Projects take you?
