PG Program In Hospital Administration (PGPHA)

Preamble

There is greater concern for Health and its management today in view of the stressful life that we live.  In India, issue of health and its management gets further complicated due to rapidly burgeoning population exerting tremendous pressure on existing health infrastructure, thus proving it to be inadequate. Traditionally the health infrastructure in India has been under government control, but for the last few years, private sector participation in health management is on the rise. India is also emerging as a medical/ health tourism destination because of cost and expertise advantage. Advent of new technology, excessively demanding and aware consumers of health services entails all associated with health sector to acquire new set of skills coupled with knowledge of health care operations.

To meet the challenges of this fast expanding sector, there is a need for a large number of trained health professionals for which we started our Post Graduate Programme in Hospital Administration on September, 2007. The Post Graduate Programme in Hospital Management attempts to train students for management of this sector and its services.
