Background

Globally, CEOs of hospitals are constantly facing the threshold of various challenges over time. Financial challenges rank top followed by government mandates (regulatory & policy changes), patient safety and quality. Other issues like shortages of trained personnel, patient satisfaction, access to care, physician-hospital relations, population health management, technology and restructuring (merger/closure) are critical concerns.

Additionally, increasing events of disasters has been a growing cause of concern across the South Asian Region. 2015 Nepal earthquake destroyed 446 and partially damaged 701 public health facilities along with 64 private health establishments. More than 500 hospitals and clinics were damaged and destroyed in flood-affected areas of Pakistan, while on scores of health facilities were damaged by Haiti's earthquake in the year 2010. The Kashmir & Chennai floods in 2014 and 2015 respectively, heavily damaged health infrastructure affecting many lives, leaving a historic impact. Such damage restricts the ability in delivering health care.

The workshop would attempt to draw a road map through various deliberations from prominent leaders, experts and delegates from the field of medical, legal, finance, disaster management etc. from the government, voluntary organizations, corporate and international organizations, drawn from across India.
