DEAN'SMESSAGE
Dr Ramaiah Itumalla
Dean (I/C)
I am delighted to welcome you all to the School of Management (SoM), The Apollo University, Chittoor, A.P. As Dean of the School, I am extremely proud of the rich tradition of providing practical, experiential-based hospital and healthcare management education that our School has upheld since its founding. Our business programmes are developing the next generation of healthcare and business leaders to build a healthier and more equitable society for the benefit of mankind.
Being a Millennial (Gen-Y) healthcare teacher and researcher, I am pleased to see a rise in the number of Gen–Y and Gen–Z healthcare professionals and more employment opportunities in the healthcare sector. As our visionary Chairman of Apollo Hospitals, Dr Prathap C Reddy, the architect of modern healthcare in India, stated, “Indian healthcare will be a big job generator like IT and India has the potential to become a global healthcare destination due to good outcomes, care, and compassion.” It is widely recognised that hospitals and healthcare professionals play an important role in managing healthcare organisations today. This has been proven before and after the outbreak of COVID-19. A great deal of effort was made by hospital and healthcare management professionals to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, along with other professionals. Hospital and healthcare managers will play a key role in the effective and efficient management of healthcare organisations and institutions in the future and this will be crucial for the management of the healthcare system.
The School of Management has developed programme syllabi that blend fundamental concepts with industry requirements, ensuring that students are prepared for the industry upon completion of their studies. The School promotes a unique synergy between teaching and research, cultivating extensive national and international partnerships and collaborations.
Sending our warmest wishes to the students embarking on this exciting new phase of their professional journey from the School of Management at The Apollo University. May this transition be filled with growth, success and fulfilment as you step into the next chapter of your career.
