Additional advantages of the programme
This program differs from other programs currently offered in Mahidol University. We use the tools of
Social Sciences e.g. theoretical concepts and methodology to understand and propose solutions to
manage with health problems. Furthermore, this program will create better management of health
inequity through the mobilization of alumni, the government sector, private sector and scholarship
organizations in various countries in this region and other regions to develop human resources in the
field of Health Social Science by providing the opportunity for graduate study access of potential
students who lack the opportunity to do so. This program aims to respond to the problem of the impact
