Healthcare is one of the fastest growing sectors. A major challenge for the Indian healthcare industry would be not only to retain the healthcare workforce but to develop an environment that would encourage the NRIs to come back. Even if the number of doctors were to increase from 1.5 to 2 per 1000 to match with international standards, India still would need 2,00,000 doctors and 5,00,000 nurses beside another 2,00,000 healthcare management personnel. This is why one can readily find lucrative job opportunities once he/she earns an MBA in Healthcare Management degree. A degree program in healthcare management will open the doors to various job positions in the healthcare industry. One will be qualified to take on jobs as administrative personnel in healthcare settings, medical interpreter, medical transcriptionist, medical secretary, patient representatives, health information technician, medical health services manager, nursing executive, health director, etc. These job positions offer great income levels that can go up to $75,000 per year. There are many chances of promotion and growth in healthcare administration on the same hand.  The program’s graduates are exceptionally well prepared to play leading roles in the diverse organizations and specialties that make up this vitally important industry, one that is constantly changing as a result of innovations in science and technology, economic forces, human demand, and governmental and social policy.

Today, healthcare is the third largest service sector  at US $35 billion in India and is expected to reach US $75 billion in next few years. Of all the hospital expansions in the near future, the private sector will account for 80% of this spending. There is much demand for professionals in different medical settings.
