Need for the Program
Organized health care has seen tremendous growth in the last 10-15 years, more so in the last 5 years in India. The need to tackle numerous minor to major diseases, frequent occurrence of natural and man-made calamities and disasters, complexities of managing small clinics to big hospitals, lack of basic infrastructure, a hugely growing population, dearth of trained man power, has made health care a very highly challenging sector. More importantly lack of well trained managerial skills to manage hospitals and health care systems comes as the biggest contributor to this challenge. This two year Post graduate program on Health Care Management (HCM) which intends to integrate knowledge, skills and attitude of both health / medical field and business management fields assumes importance due to the following reasons:
India’s growing importance to health care system.
Big spurt in growth of hospitals all over the country.
Lack of professionally qualified people at various levels to administer and manage hospitals and health care systems.
Lack of relevant medical related knowledge and skills by management experts, to administer/manage hospitals and health care systems.
Lack of relevant management related knowledge and skills by medical experts, to administer/manage hospitals and health care systems.
Very few high quality programs of this dual nature are offered in the country.
