Build a career in healthcare – The Hindu
Health defines the future of the individual, the community, the nation and the world. In India, healthcare management was never a specialised function. Elsewhere, it is among the most important of jobs and it sees professionals from across disciplines. The focus of healthcare changes as the disease patterns and priorities change and so do delivery models. Overall, the focus is on diseases and their prevention. Manpower challenges of Indian health sector are very well known. The recent strikes by nurses in Kerala or by doctors in Karnataka brought out the skeletons in the cupboard. Amidst this chaos, the healthcare managers kept the system from falling apart.
