Success in Healthcare means
In a hospital we are dealing with the question of life and death and I believe that we are successful only if can bring smile on the face of patient.
Man, with a Vision
My vision is to change role of healthcare administration in India. I would like to change the doctor centric model of Indian healthcare management industry. Today 90% of the hospital in USA & 100% Hospital in UK are headed by the Non-Medicals’ trained in Hospital Administration. In practice it is found that a Non-Medical person brought more success to hospital as he is more flexible, has more appetite and a stronger sense of business than medical person.
Today healthcare organizations are facing their toughest competition in decades. I think that answer lies in doing a better job of meeting and satisfying patient needs. Every organization wanting to win. Only patient centered organization will win, those who can delivered superior care and value for money to their customer / patients. My aim is “Care with Concern”.
