FASEG UCAD

What FASEG UCAD does

FASEG UCAD (Laboratoire Management de la Santé) is an academic research and training unit within the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences (FASEG) at the Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar (UCAD), Senegal's largest public university. Established in 2009, it operates the Master en management des établissements de santé — a degree program spanning Licence 3 through Doctorate level that trains senior managers for hospital administration, health program management, and health inspection roles in public and private sectors across Francophone Africa. The program targets working professionals and graduates from hospitals, district and regional medical offices, clinics, health mutuals, and health-focused NGOs, with an explicit mission aligned to Senegal's hospital reform agenda.

The program is delivered through two modalities: in-person instruction on the UCAD II campus in Dakar, and distance learning via a Moodle-based e-learning platform (mes.faseg.sn) that provides video conferencing, course materials, and online evaluations. The technical stack is conventional — a self-hosted Moodle LMS — with no proprietary AI or advanced automation. Curriculum covers administration, financial and accounting management, public health, health economics, human resources, and quality/performance, supplemented by an internship component at partner hospitals.

The business model is tuition-driven, with annual fees of 650,000 FCFA at Licence 3 and 1,250,000 FCFA at Master 1 and Master 2 levels, plus a reduced "conventionné" rate for partner institutions and a separate 400,000 FCFA registration fee for non-UEMOA students. Distribution is community-led: recruitment runs through the FASEG institutional website, direct email applications, word-of-mouth among health sector professionals, and the Moodle platform itself. The program operates under accreditation from ANAQ-SUP and in partnership with Senegal's Ministry of Health, partner hospitals, and an Association of health administrators — relationships that support internships, curriculum alignment, and public-sector career placement. Geographic reach currently spans 10 countries across Francophone Africa.

• ISPED - Université de Bordeaux: Institut de Santé Publique, d'Épidémiologie et de Développement offers Master's and doctoral programs in public health and health systems management. Comparable as a university-based graduate health management program targeting French-speaking professionals, with overlapping curriculum areas in health economics, hospital management, and health policy.
• Makerere University School of Public Health: Leading East African public health school offering graduate programs in health systems, health policy, and health services management targeting working professionals across the region. Comparable as an African university-based health management training provider competing for similar working-professional students, though operating in English-speaking East Africa rather than Francophone West Africa.

Regional players

• Institut de Santé et Développement (ISED) - Université Cheikh Anta Diop: Adjacent health-research and training institute at UCAD itself, focused on broader public health and development topics.

Others
