Description
CBS Publishers & Distributors Public Health Management Principles and Practice 3rd Edition 2022 by Sunder Lal
About The Book
Public Health Management Principles and Practice features a thoroughly revised, updated and enlarged edition incorporating the latest facts and information relevant to the subject. A comprehensive book on public health management for medical students and the faculty is rarely available. Hitherto the subject of health management has been a neglected area, though much more is needed in India with inadequate resources. Various concepts of management described in bits and pieces so far mainly pertain to industry and business organization unrelated to health systems in India. Management training modules for medical officers at primary health centres developed by National Institute of Health and Family Welfare in 1987 have not been updated, and thus provide only limited information about the current development of managerial processes. There is, therefore, an imperative need of a basic book in health management in India. In community medicine/public health “the patient” is community, hence community diagnosis and Community therapy are the core issues and focus of health management aptly described in this book. The book fulfils the imperative need of students and the faculty. The desired edifice can be built on this foundation in respect to evolving management issues of future. This handy title aims to serve as a valuable text for students of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in community medicine | preventive and social medicine, and public health, and a precise manual for the professionals involved in health management, hospital management, health informatics, officials of health ministries at district, state and central levels, as well as all those professionals involved in planning the health scenario for the future.
