While most of his peers at medical school had plans to open their own practices one day, prospective doctor Osborn Mahanjana had a yearning to
join the corporate world and to succeed in it.
But as a matter of principle, and because he did not want to be seen as a failure, he decided to complete his bachelor of medicine and bachelor
of surgery (MBBCh), which he did in 2000.
Following the completion of his internship and community service, he worked as a medical officer in the UK, and this further motivated him to get an
MBA.
And in 2005, while working for Hannover Life Reassurance Africa Limited in South Africa, he finally enrolled for a part-time MBA at Wits Business School.
Halfway through his course, in 2006, he was employed by the multinational pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company in its South African operation.
And when he completed his MBA in 2008, he was promoted to an executive position as director of pricing, reimbursement and access, also
heading corporate affairs at the company.
Now, almost seven years after he got his MBA, he is CEO of Sechaba Medical Solutions, a health benefit organisation that administers one of SA’s
largest, open medical aid schemes, Sizwe Medical Fund. Sechaba also manages the scheme to ensure Sizwe members get the best value for their
money.
This was a journey all made possible by his executive education in the form of an MBA, says Mahanjana.
