Department of Hospital Administration

Year of Establishment : 2009

Hospital like any other organization, need good managers for efficient and effective delivery of health care services. Healthcare managers plan, direct, coordinate and supervise the delivery of health care services. In the changing environment in which this sector is operating managers must be prepared to deal with the integration of health care delivery systems, technological innovations, complex regulatory environment, restructuring of work, and focus on preventive care. They are required to improve efficiency in healthcare facilities and the quality of the care provided.

The program is interdisciplinary in nature and combines the understanding of areas such as management, economics, law, human resource development, information technology, understanding of the working of hospitals and health care facilities, nutrition, prevention of communicable diseases, community health and other medical services. The cutting edge curriculum has been designed to develop core competencies and provide exposure with the best practices of the profession. The students of the program get the unique opportunity of interacting with the faculty, doctors and students of medical, dental, pharmacy, nursing and management colleges for sharpening their technical and managerial skills. The attachment of the students to the 550 bed multi-speciality hospital of the University helps them in learning the dynamics of administering the hospital and also has an hands-on experience of the different functions/aspects of the hospital.
