Diploma in Health Promotion


@ Institute of Human Resource Advancement - IHRA

The Diploma in Health Promotion is specially designed for workers in health and health related government institutions and nongovernmental organizations. This is the first study program on health promotion offered from 2006, by a higher education - University institution for multi disciplinary category of employees in Sri Lanka.

Most of the employees working in health and health related institutions do not have access for advance training in their profession. Lack of such training reduces the efficiency of their services and fails to create an impact because new knowledge is accumulating at a fast rate to the Knowledge society.

The Diploma in Health Promotion would strengthen the foundation and equip Knowledge Workers in the health sector with the skills needed facing the challenges in their field of work to develop a healthy Sri Lankan nation competitive in the globalized Knowledge Society.
