In terms of the growth rate, the healthcare industry in India is moving ahead neck to neck with the pharmaceutical industry and the software industry of the country. Much has been said and done in the healthcare sector for bringing about improvement.

 

Keeping the same trend in mind, Welingkar Institute of Management has decided to start a new PGDM course in Healthcare Management. While announcing the same, Prof Dr Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, Welingkar Institute of Management said, “A management graduate who studies only general functional areas such as marketing, production, finance will need to develop an appreciation of the healthcare domain to contribute meaningfully to this sector. Similarly a health science professional lacks knowledge and application of management principles. The Healthcare program bridges the capabilities required to use and apply management principles in people management, finance, operation, communication and other areas to the Healthcare Sector.”
