Hospital and healthcare management is emerging as a sought-after business specialization, says Prof. Raja P Pappu of GITAM University. With India’s healthcare industry growing rapidly, there’s a rising demand for skilled hospital administrators. GITAM’s new MBA in Healthcare and Hospital Management addresses this gap through a multidisciplinary curriculum in collaboration with AP MedTech Zone and AHA. Despite growing opportunities, awareness remains limited among students, though early interest from doctors and pharmacy graduates signals cross-disciplinary appeal.
