Tertiary Care & Health Governance Ecosystems

This program situates students within Western India’s urban health ecosystems.

The Mumbai phase focuses on large tertiary care institutions, referral systems, urban health inequities, and public-private health dynamics. Seminars introduce WHO health systems frameworks, financing models, and workforce distribution.

Students participate in non-clinical observational blocks in hospital environments, examining patient flow, triage processes, referral bottlenecks, and equity gaps.

The Pune phase deepens institutional analysis. Engagement includes public health departments, medical education institutions, and governance dialogues. Workshops focus on quality assurance systems and regional health planning.

The program culminates in a health systems improvement proposal grounded in observed institutional realities.
