Introduction to strategic management and leadership for health professionals

Some institutions, such as the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare, New Delhi; Indian Institutes of Public Health; Institutes of Health Management Research; South Asia Public Health Leadership Institute; International Clinical Epidemiological Network Trust (health research) offer in-service leadership and strategic management courses with funding from Government of India, WHO, or self-payment. In the health system, professionals are promoted with seniority as the sole criteria, with little basic or in-service training. [...]it is quiet common to see clinicians becoming Civil Surgeons or CMHOs due to their seniority.
