Yes, New Zealand offers several postgraduate programs in health service or hospital management that do not require a clinical background.

These programs are designed for candidates like you, with a finance and commerce background, and can prepare you for non-clinical roles in hospitals or healthcare organizations:

- Master of Health Service Management (MHSM), Massey University: Focuses on health systems management, policy, and informatics. Available online.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Health Service Management (PGDipHSM), Massey University: Foundational program, also online, and can lead to the MHSM.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Health Management, University of Otago: Combines public health and business administration; on-campus.
- Master of Health Leadership and Management, University of Canterbury: Integrates health and business leadership; on-campus.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Management (Healthcare Management), NMIT: Applied management skills with a healthcare focus; on-campus.

These options suit candidates without clinical qualifications and value your professional experience. Admission requirements and availability are subject to change.
