IIM Raipur Launches Executive Leadership Programme for Healthcare LeadIntroduction: Empowering Healthcare Leadership
The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur has taken a significant step in empowering healthcare leaders by launching its second batch of the Executive Leadership Programme in collaboration with the Academy of Digital Health Sciences. This six-month course is specifically designed for aspiring founders, CEOs, and senior management in healthcare, aiming to drive growth and profits in hospitals.
Registration for this innovative programme began on August 1, 2024, and it promises to equip participants with practical strategies essential for success in the ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
Why This Programme Matters
The healthcare industry in India faces unique challenges, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Hospitals (MSMHs).
Dr. Ram Kumar Kakani, Director of IIM Raipur, emphasised the critical role these institutions play in promoting equitable access to healthcare. He stated:
“Both institutions recognise MSMHs as essential to a sustainable healthcare system for all citizens. The gap that needs to be filled quickly is the lack of actionable insights into the emerging digital health paradigm.”
This course addresses that gap by providing actionable insights into digital health technologies and their implementation.
