Dr Srinivasa Rao Pulijala, CEO, Apollo MedSkills said the programme “will nurture and shape the career of hundreds of youth who aspire to take the leadership roles in the health industry. Students will benefit from learning from the industry experts from both management and healthcare sectors. During the pandemic COVID-19 period, we are witnessing a sharp rise in the number of hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres, rehabilitation centres across urban, semi-urban, and in some pockets of rural India. These health facilities are on the lookout for those talented people who are capable of running them effectively and efficiently. This unique industry is in urgent need of highly skilled people.”
