"Health administration faces a great challenge in improving the health status of the population. Good governance of health services can be a positive force in proving good health services to all without discrimination. Its services have to be so devised that they may be within the reach of all alike.
11 Five Year Plan stresses on improving the governance. All our efforts to achieve rapid and inclusive development will only bear fruit if we can unsure good governance both in the implementation of public programmes and in governments interaction with the ordinary citizens.
The questions arises as to how we can develop the administrative skill and capability along with the professional competence among the personnel responsible for health care administration? This can be made possible by two methods. The first is to incorporate the teaching and research of health care administration in the syllabus of undergraduate and post graduate medical education. The second method is to impart training to the personnel already engaged in health care administration, especially through executive development programmes.
The success of these methods depends upon the availability of well-prepared literature in health care administration based on the researches and case studies." (jacket)
