This well-established Programme was set up in 1996 to train senior health services managers and to advance health systems knowledge, attitudes and management skills. A new Programme is being launched in the latter half of 2007 as a partnership between the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Graduate School of Business. The Oliver Tambo Fellowship (OTF) Programme is the only one of its kind in South Africa. The School of Public Health and Family Medicine is one of the five Schools in the Faculty of Health Sciences UCT, and is recognised internationally for its programmes in postgraduate training and applied health research. UCT’s Graduate School of Business (GSB) is regarded as one of South Africa’s premier Business Schools. Its MBA programme is ranked in the top 100 of the Financial Times of London’s Global rankings. It is accredited by the prestigious European Foundation for Management Development with its EQUIS status. The GSB’s reputation was reinforced by the report of South Africa’s Council on Higher Education in May 2004, which gave it full accreditation for its MBA programmes. The GSB’s Executive Programmes are rated in the top 10 in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
