The Course in Hospital Management has been devised to meet growing needs of expert personals in the field of Hospital Administration. So far, even works of general administration were being managed by medical professionals. But it is being increasingly realised now that it is crucially interlinked with the issue of overall efficiency and effectiveness in the health sector in general and the internal administration of hospital in particular. Health can not be considered exclusively as an end in itself. One must also take into account its role as one of the social sectors in overall development and try to establish a concrete and productive relationship between health microscopic variables such as consumption, productivity and labour on which it depends.
      Here we see hospitals as a service industry which is connected with three factory-consumption [money, materials and time]. productivity [providing quality services available to maximum number of patients enhancement of training facilities etc.] and thirdly skilled and committed labour [maximum utilization of Man-Power medical / non-medical staff] to achieve the optimum goal of the health care Institutions.

       The hospital managers today are facing problems and challenges of increasing of magnitude and complexity in ensuring efficient management of various departments of the hospital. A Hospital manager must serve as a strong team player, communicator. motivator and administrator to be able to achieve the desired success in various aspects of a hospital's functioning and services.
