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 health care sector for bringing about improvement. Till date, approximately 12% of the scope offered by the health care industry in India has been tapped. The health care industry in India is reckoned to be the engine of the economy in the years to come. Growing at an envious rate of 15% every year, the health care industry in India is estimated to be a $40 million by 2012.


The healthcare sector is reckoned to be the engine of the Indian economy in the years to come. Presently a 75000 cr. industry, healthcare is rapidly growing at an envious rate of 15%. And is estimated to be a mammoth US$40 million industry by 201 2. However, there's still a wide gap between supply and demand for trained healthcare professionals. With the increasing number of healthcare entities such as - lifestyle clinics, e-health ventures, emergency medicine units, the demand for trained professionals is envisaged to increase in manifolds. At WeSchool, we strongly believe that the onus lies on the academia to provide verticals with the necessary intellectual capital. We've done so time and again in the past in areas such as Retail, Commodity Trading, Design and Innovation and Agribusiness Management. Our specialized Program in Healthcare Management is yet another step in this endeavor. This well thought out program bridges the capabilities required to use and apply management principles in people management, finance, operations, communication and other areas to the Healthcare sector. We invite aspirants to make the most of this program and benefit greatly from this promising industry.

Program Overview

In India, healthcare is delivered through both the public sector and private sector. The public healthcare system consists of healthcare facilities run by the central and state government, which provide services free of cost or at subsidized rates to low income groups in rural and urban areas. With the Indian economy enjoying a steady growth, the healthcare industry too is expected to benefit greatly. Attracted by the advantages such as lower costs of production and skilled workforce that India offers, companies abroad are looking forward to set up research and development, as well as production centers here.

The Present Market

Expenses incurred by the Indian Government on healthcare are the highest amongst developing countries. India's spends 5.25% of its GDP on Healthcare. Chances are that the healthcare market could experience a hike and attain a figure ranging between $53 to $73 billion five years from now. This in turn will reflect an increase of 6.2% in the GDP.

Until recently, doctors without any professional training in management were assigned managerial roles. Besides being a difficult task, doctors barely managed to devote time to their patients. Thanks to the rapid corporatization, a lot of medical graduates are taking up further specialization in hospital administration. Even non-medical professionals are increasingly taking up the mantle of hospital administration. The government too is veering around to the view that public hospitals also need to be run professionally. Hence there is a strong need for a course in Healthcare Management.

It is evident that there is a wide gap between supply and demand for trained healthcare managers / administrators to work for hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, health insurance and third party administrators and other healthcare organizations. There are bright opportunities even in the government sector. The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) looks forward to appoint healthcare administrators. The demand for healthcare professionals is envisaged to increase in manifolds in the years to come with more and more hospitals expected to increase in semi-urban and rural areas.

Similarly a health science professional lacks knowledge and application of management principles.
