With the privatization of this sector, there is a growing demand for qualified doctors, along with efficient administrators to manage the hospitals.
An MBA in hospital management does exactly this. Unlike medicine, hospital management is a course that anyone can pursue. The main goal of this course is to equip the candidate with skills to organise, plan, coordinate and control health care services for the masses in a cost effective manner.

Chennai, Sep 1 Shekhar Chaudhuri, director of the Indian Institute of Management-Calcutta (IIM-C), realised in 2003 that he was facing some critical gaps in his marketing department. He was not able to fill these up in-house and wanted some support.
During one of his visits here, Chaudhuri met members of the IIM-C Alumni Association’s Chennai Chapter and presented his problem to them over dinner.
“At that time, we had just four faculty members to teach marketing. Further there was an insufficient supply of doctorate degree holders for us to recruit and fill the gap. Hence I sought the help of our alumni here,” Chaudhuri told IANS.
The alumni chapter members saw an opportunity to give back their knowledge to the students at the same institute where they had learnt the rudiments of management by holding two-day strategic marketing workshops.
