M ESSAGE FROM
THE DIRECTOR
F ROM THE
DEAN’S DESKThe Institute has come a long way in the last three
decades in working in the eld of health in terms of training,
research and extension. Started as a one-semester
programme on Certicate in Hospital Administration in
1980, today, the Institute boasts of 4 postgraduate degree
programmes and three diploma programmes in the eld
of health. The alumni of these programmes are occupying
leadership positions in the health sector in India & abroad.
This year, 4 postgraduate degree programme students
will be attending campus placement. While MHA (Health)
students are equipped to undertake leadership role in planning
and implementing healthcare programmes in the government and
the voluntary sectors, MHA (Hospital) students are trained to take up
leadership role in hospitals and hospital consultancy organizations.
In addition, both the programme students are trained in health related
sectors like insurance and information technology. The students have very strong
understanding of their respective health and hospital elds and are strongly moulded
and mentored in managing health and hospital organizations. There are 27 students in the MHA (Health)
programme and 44 students in the MHA (Hospital) programme.
Master of Public Health (MPH) in Social Epidemiology is a unique programme in the sense, the focus
of the programme is on social epidemiology. The students have very strong orientation in research
skills and have good understanding of the epidemiology of both communicable & non-communicable
diseases. These students will be excellent researchers and analysts in public health eld. There are
20 students in this programme. MPH in Health Policy, Economics and Finance is the new programme
and the third batch will be passing out this year. This programme is developed in collaboration with
London School of Economics (LSE). These students have strong orientation in economic evaluation
of health programmes and interventions and have excellent skills in health policy research and
analysis. There are 16 students in this programme for campus placement.
The strength of all these programmes is strong emphasis on practical training and research skills.
Every semester, the students are placed in organizations and communities related to their respective elds
to u nderstand and learn the “real world”, where they will be employed late r . T hese students are ready to
take-up the challenges before them in the health sector. Without hesitation, I can vouch that these
students are going to make a positive difference and impact on the organizations that are going to
recruit them. I wish them all success.

Business Development Strategies in last semester, the third internship places students in some of the largest
healthcare corporations in the country like the Apollo Group of Hospitals, the Fortis Group, the Max Group,
Manipal Group of Hospitals etc. In this posting they undertake specic micro-level assessment like modules
for staff training, feasibility and marketing plans for new service or hospitals, working on actual HMIS
databases and process reengineering for departments .
Before students embark on their professional journey, they serve uncompensated in their choice of healthcare
organizations like charitable hospitals, NGOs, consultancies, healthcare IT or insurance companies for a whole
month rendering their knowledge and skills as they would in the organizations they would soon join.
All internships follow absolutely stringent attendance rules and surprise visits.
RESEARCH
Each student is expected to take up an area of choice that he/she would work on for two years during the
course under the guidance of both school faculty as well as industry experts to produce a report that is credited
at the end of the course. It is referred to as a 'Research Project' as the student is preferably expected to maintain
a practical approach with scientic research base towards the topic.
The research project is an attempt to enable the student either to explore & analyze a new trend in healthcare
or to work on specic area affecting hospital functioning on a professional basis after completion of the degree.
After dening study objectives, the project involves relevant and actual data collection from hospitals that
further enhances the eld exposure for the students. The report focuses on providing an in-depth understanding
of the issue and most importantly, on providing working recommendations and implementable action plans.
Some of the major areas students have attempted to study this year include:
At the end of two year program, course structure at TISS aims at equipping students with the pre-requisite
skills that would enable them to effectively contribute to not only the organization that they would work for,
but also to healthcare industry at large.
INTRODUCTION
Hospitals and healthcare facility providers as we see them today; are becoming some of the most complex
and uid organizations to manage in the times to come. This was a challenge, foreseen early by the faculty
at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, who were thus among the pioneers in instituting a full edged
Masters in Hospital Administration in 1993 which to date remains one of the most coveted training programs
this sector has seen. In the increasingly competitive arena of healthcare management education, the TISS
strives to maintain its tradition of academic excellence whilst simultaneously working to radically transform
its academic culture and spirit as is captured in its tryst towards “Re-imagining Futures”.
Innovative and dynamic classroom teaching along with challenge based learning during the Internships
puts hospital administration program at par with International teaching standards. This is what shapes one
of the nest professionals of the country, striving to serve and lead the hospital and healthcare industry.
The basis underlying the course framework is the fundamental understanding of hospitals as socially,
structurally, technologically and nancially sensitive organizations employing a myriad mix of some of the most
skilled and semi-skilled human resource. Along with a strong emphasis on their theoretical base, students are
tested for their conceptual clarity through class presentations, case studies and group tasks simulating
decision making in the hospital environment. Keeping in with the pace of the industry, the course content is
continuously reviewed and revised to keep abreast of necessary developments whether it is hospital
management information systems, Health insurance or Business development strategies for hospitals.
With that, the students would undergo seven months of arduous internships across some of the best hospitals
and allied organizations like consultancies, healthcare IT & health insurance companies in the country and
simultaneously undertake individual projects addressing some of the relevant concerns or advancements
in healthcare.
INTERNSHIPS
“What the mind does not know, the eyes do not see”… Keeping this very maxim in mind, the sequence of
theory subjects and internships has been framed to ensure that students know exactly what they are expected
to learn and apply during each of the three, eight-week long internships that they would be credited for in
the course of their degree.
After covering key fundamental subjects like Healthcare Finance, Hospital planning, Clinical and Support
services & Materials management, at the end of their second semester students are posted in their rst
internship at major public hospitals in Mumbai like KEM, BYL Nair Hospital, Tata Memorial Hospital, MGM

INTERNSHIPS
TISS believes that realization of theory into practice is the actual possession of knowledge. Nurtured with
the same idea, internships not just expose the students to the intricacies of healthcare industry but also
provide them with professional up - gradation in terms of conceptualization and implementation.
Students are placed at various carefully chosen organizations to give them the actual avour of health related
issues and ground realities, keeping in mind the role of a Health Administrator. Meticulously designed three
rounds of internships (8,8,4 Weeks) give them a hands-on experience of various aspects of National Health
Programs, the NGO sector, various community health programs, a rsthand exposure to government public
health system, with a chance to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained from their academic
experiences. Nevertheless, it enhances communication skills by working with diverse populations across India.
Students are posted at various renowned organizations like ALERT India, AAROHI, URMUL, CINI,
SATHI-CEHAT, SEWA, SEARCH, VHAI, CMC-RUHSA, SNEHA, IHMP, Aga Khan Health Services, MCGM,
Public health department of government of Maharashtra etc. These internships expose the students to the
health care industry, help integrate and supplement classroom knowledge and skills enhancement. Apart
from the individual assignments and projects done by students, they also indulge in projects given by
the organizations. These internships are mutually benecial wherein students use it as a learning opportunity
and the organizations tap the skills and knowledge of the students and engage them in their projects.
Internships also have an element of global exposure. Selected students attend Summer Programme McAllen
campus at School of Rural Public Health (SRPH), Texas A & M University, USA under collaboration of TISS and
A & M University Texas.
DISSERTATION
Dissertation is a mandatory component of the programme in Master of Health Administration & has been
assigned the maximum credits.
This by far has been one of the best learning the students have received from the Institute. The guidance by
the faculty members along with their motivation has proved to be invaluable to the extent of even having
students publishing their research papers in renowned journals.
In an industry like healthcare that is changing fast, organisations must continuously revise their design and
range of products. This is necessary due to the continuous technological changes and development as well
as the changing preferences of customers. Without a Research & Development program, an organisation
would have to rely on strategic alliances, acquisitions, and networks to tap into the innovations of others.
Thus, research helps the organization to forgo its present methods & come up with the ones that will help it
perform at its best and that is exactly what our candidates are experts in.
As an institute excelling in post-graduate programmes, we here learn not only to manage healthcare but to
explore the arenas in it.

TISS has been offering the Health administration programme since the early 1990s. Since then it has been the
best in its efforts towards moulding the best candidates into the nest health managers.
Over the years, the course curriculum has been reinvented and structured to keep pace with and meet the
demands of the dynamic healthcare industry. The internships give a fresher the hands on experience of health
management in various streams of healthcare industry ranging from NGOs to Municipal Corporations to many
other private & public organisations. Thus, this course by its end exhaustively makes a candidate a utile
health manager.
The 2 year intensive program is designed to develop a cadre of professionals competent enough to take up
key managerial and research positions in both public and private health sectors. The Master of Health
Administration programme prepares students to take on managerial positions in the National Health
Programmes, the NGO sector, CSR, healthcare consultancies, health insurance rms, healthcare IT companies,
research organisations, community - based health programmes, pharmaceutical and medical instrumentation
companies by building capacities in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation of programmes.
It also orients the students to macro issues relevant to health policy and programming in the country.
The teaching is beyond the four walls and the faculty members are ever enthusiastic to impart best knowledge
to the students & various innovative ways adopted by them, like the eld visits, classroom exercises based on
the topics of practical application, help students progress better.
We have been successful in attracting the titans of the health sector like WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, NHSRC,
SHRC, NRHM, NACO, PATH, CARE, Aga Khan Health Services, ICICI, Infosys and PWC, Reliance CSR for
our recruitments in the past & have been able to make it up to their expectations.
The course curriculum has a shade of social science along with the foundations of management which makes it
unique & thus the students are conditioned to be better management personnels with a sense of social
responsibility. This blend comes from the core management based courses like principles of management,
strategic healthcare management, operations research, nancial management along with the very sensitive
courses like social science perspectives on health, research methodology etc. Thus the artefact of these
academic courses is what we bring to the healthcare industry with our ingress.

ethos of the institute that is ingrained in each student - service to the society. Though the students have been well
placed before the period of this internship, they contribute their theoretical & practical skills to the organization.
RESEARCH
Research being the core of MPH, the entire last semester is dedicated to the dissertation, a process which
commences early in the rst semester. Each student is expected to work on a current and challenging topic.
These studies are carried out under the guidance of a designated faculty member. The dissertation is duly
reviewed at each step by the faculty - right from the presentation of the proposal to data collection and to the
actual analysis. The studies are qualitative, quantitative or a mix of both the types. A wide range of health
problems ranging from communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases to women's health issues are
covered. The student applies theoretical knowledge to the selected issue to come up with remarkable results.
The data collection, analysis and application help apply the concept in the eld. Students are taught computer
programs such as SPSS, STATA and Atlas ti. Published research carves out a niche for MPH at SHSS,
which is known for its research excellence.

INTRODUCTION
MPH SOCIAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
Right from the recommendations of Bhore committee report in 1946, the recent NHP 2002 and the NRHM
documents, all highlight the importance of training of public health professionals as an essential requirement
for the improvement of the health situation in the country. In wake of the public health problems being faced
by the country in the social, cultural and economic context, there is an increased need to emphasize on
social epidemiology. The Masters of Public health at TISS caters to the need for trained human power and
helps in the building and maintenance of public health with a special focus on Social Epidemiology.
This programme explores elaborately the link between the social determinants and health of the population
along with strong methodological and technical foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, quantitative
analysis, qualitative analysis and national and international public health policies. This programme is covered
over the span of four semesters, with emphasis given to research related courses and development of public
health paradigms. The eclectic mix of students from various educational backgrounds and work experiences
adds new perspectives and knowledge on various issues pertaining to public health. Polished by excellent
faculty in knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of national and international public health issues,
and further honed in community interaction and research skills by multiple internships, the course ordains
students to shine bright in the public health scene, be it rural or urban, national or global. As epidemiologists,
We weigh, balance and contrast and over the years, TISS has spawned a generation of superlative public
health professionals.
INTERNSHIPS
The MPH course consists of two internships, one each at the end of second and third semester. Each internship
duration is of eight weeks. The 1st internship primarily focuses on urban slums of Mumbai. It is designed to give
important insight into the prevailing health issues of urban slums through socio demographic proling of the
community. Individual, quantitative studies are carried out on population sub-groups residing in the community for
elaborate understanding. Detailed analysis of several factors such as, socioeconomic status, health status,
morbidity pattern, utilization of healthcare services and expenditure for healthcare are undertaken.
Internships also have a dimension of global exposure with selected students getting an exclusive opportunity
to attend international summer internships at University of Minnesota and A & M University Texas, USA.

INTERNSHIPS
At the end of the second semester, when the students have gained all the required academic skills,
they are placed with different Non-Government Organization's in Mumbai for a period of ve weeks.
During this period the interns learn about their respective organization's structure, human resource
policies, budgeting and in eld programmes. They get an opportunity to cater their skills and knowledge
for the benet of the organization. Students also take up a research project and study a public health issue
of concern, as identied by them, in a community served by their organization which gives them an insight
about the conditions and concerns of urban poor. This year, the students were placed in organizations like
Centre for the Study of Social Change (CSSC), ALERT India, Sanmitra Trust, PATH, Apnalaya, SATHI & CORP.
This year two students attended the Summer Public Health Institute, University of Minnesota, USA.
The second internship is a one month block placement towards the end of the curriculum. The students
choose any healthcare organization of their choice and reiterate the ethos of 'service to the society' by
contributing their skills to the community.
FIELD PRACTICUM
A full semester, on eld experience delivers a unique 'Learning by Doing' opportunity for testing implied
knowledge learnt during exhaustive rst year of the programme. The scholars get a chance to be placed
with reputed organizations and apply their academic learning in studying the working of their respective
organizations right from the developmental milestones to the outcomes of various programmes. The approach
aims at critical review of policy, developing perspectives and conceptualizations to policy/programmes,
engaging with diverse stakeholders especially community, learn intervention skills, intervene with regard
to policy/programme implementation and reviewing the intervention to make suitable recommendations
for Policy/programme development. It marks the transition for the scholars from theory to practice offering
them professional growth with appropriate knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to promote public health
policy and practice using the domain of health economics and nance.
This year students were placed in the following organizations for their eld practicum: Rajiv Gandhi
Jeevandayee Arogya Yojana, DGHS (Mumbai), Family Planning Association of India (FPAI) (Mumbai); NRHM,
State Health & Family Welfare Society (Tripura), MAHAN Trust (Amravati), Manav Foundation (Madhya Pradesh),
NRHM (Haryana), Apnalaya (Mumbai), Institute of Health Management Pachod (IHMP) (Pune), Jan
Swasthya Sahyog ( Chhattisgarh), SATHI ( Turbhe, Navi Mumbai), Uplift India Association (Pune).
RESEARCH
Research has been one of the primary focuses of the programme where the entire last semester is
dedicated for same. The institute's faculty, acclaimed for their research expertise, renes the skills of the
scholars with respect to both the qualitative and quantitative research which enables them to develop evidence
based thinking. Varied issues are taken up by the scholars related to health policy and health systems.
The relationship between research and health policy is discussed from a policy process perspective.
65
The health system in India is going through a phase of transition that calls for a global multidisciplinary
approach towards establishing an efcient and equitable healthcare. Such an approach needs a problem
solving expertise, keeping in mind all the social, economical, political and nancial challenges. Meeting all these
challenges can be made possible only with an expertise in critical analysis of issues within health policy,
economics and nancing.
The Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Policy, Economics and Finance, developed by the Tata Institute
of Social Sciences in collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE),
has been designed with a global focus to create a cohort of well trained public health professionals.
The programme, which stretches over a period of two years, offers a perfect blend of both descriptive and
analytical courses. The rst two semesters are dedicated to extensive class room training which includes
lectures, seminars, debates and discussions. It serves as an excellent platform for students from different
backgrounds and work experiences to exchange ideas and engage together in this learning process.
The third semester offers an opportunity to observe, experience and implement the concepts learnt, in the eld.
In the fourth semester, the students dedicate themselves completely towards their research projects.
Introductory courses like Health Policy and Planning, Health and Health Systems and Social Care Policy,
that are taken in the rst semester, in-still a basic knowledge and impart an outline structure of the programme
which then progresses towards more technical courses during the second semester. An in-depth analysis
of the dynamics of Pharmaceutical Economics, Health Insurance and Healthcare Financing is what makes
this cadre of scholars outshine in the global market. Special emphasis is given to the understanding and
application of nancing principles, econometric techniques and the systematic use of policy research &
review in decision making by teaching courses like Economic Evaluation and Health Policy and
Systems Research.
This provides an enhanced training to all the professionals for working in all kinds of public health settings.
This also makes them apt for the position of analytical, consulting, advocacy and advisory roles in public
sector bodies, global non-prot organizations, policy consultancies, bilateral and multilateral aid agencies,
health nancing institutions, health policy research organizations, and the pharmaceutical sectors.
