The pact was inked keeping in mind the sudden need of trained professional healthcare providers in the industry.

 “With an exponential growth of 40% expected in the healthcare and hospital sector over the next five years, it is highly crucial to improve the capabilities of both by establishing a good system of training and skill up gradation of the existing professionals. This is where IHMR Bengaluru will play a crucial role. Doctors, administrators, pharmacists, nurses and other premedical employees can take up this programme to improve their leadership and management skills.
