The past years have shown us how important the sector of healthcare is and how our Indian healthcare system needs to be streamlined with trained staff to cater to the bulk of the population.

The study of Hospital Management provides management skills for the delivery of Healthcare services.

With new-age Hospitals coming up for the huge population of our country, the good infra-structure, modern era facilities and the customer satisfaction is a great challenge without appropriate trained staff. Since this discipline of administration is quite different from other forms of administration, this course is well taken and much in demand.

There are different department like registration, customer care, billing, insurance. Immigration, quality management, training department, finance department, medical services etc…so in all above mentioned there is a requirement of department wise administrator and one project manager/CEO.

Healthcare management professionals come mostly from two backgrounds- medical experts and non-medical executives. Multi-speciality hospitals, clinics, medical institute and healthcare units appoint both medical and non-medical administrators in their administrative departments.

Medical experts in administration take care of the technical side including sourcing of equipment and medical expendables, employment and training of workforce, management of professional and research work. Non-medical professionals in the healthcare industry handle and allocate job-responsibilities of other employees, oversee the maintenance, public relations, sales and marketing, record management, consultation management, vendor management, customer service, liaison,  HR services and security.

Indian healthcare system has been fighting against various issues, which includes  the low number of healthcare institutions and less-than-adequate human resources to handle the bulk of population.

Healthcare industry in India comprises of hospitals, medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance, and medical equipment. The healthcare sector is growing at a tremendous pace owing to its strengthening coverage, services, and increasing expenditure by public as well private players. The hospital industry alone, is accounting for 80% of the total healthcare market, is witnessing a huge investor demand from both global as well as domestic investors.

The hospital industry is expected to reach $132 bn by 2023 from $61.8 bn in 2017. There are many reasons for this growth like

• The rise in medical tourism due to the relatively low cost of medical care in India, medical tourism is experiencing a 22-25% growth. It contributes over $2Bn to the healthcare market in India.
• The availability of 70000 Ayushman Bharat centers across India providing primary healthcare services.
• Rise in healthcare insurance which is now the 2^nd largest portfolio. It needs mention that 20% of Indians are covered and the per cent is expected to rise with rising incomes and urbanization.
• Rise in specialty diagnostic centers.
• More super-specialty hospitals are springing up each year. Over $200 bn to be spent on medical infrastructure by 2024.

An unprecedented growth in the hospital industry in India has resulted in an enormous demand and popularity of different hospital management courses. The demand of skilled administrators in the hospitals and health care facilities is growing rapidly as the nature of work in hospitals is very dissimilar from other organizations. Hospitals deliver specialised service round the clock.
