PGDPHA Overview
The public health administration is a pillar of public health practice, along with project management, health care policy, behavioral sciences and grant seeking, monitoring, evaluation and learning, public health innovation, and global health; through effective management, research, theory, and scientific innovation can be translated into successful public health action. The National Health Policy 2017 of the Government of India, section 11.8 recommends the creation of a “Public Health Management Cadre in all States based on public health or related disciplines, as an entry criterion. The policy also advocates an appropriate career structure and recruitment policy to attract young and talented multidisciplinary professionals. Medical and health professionals would form a major part of this, but professionals coming in from diverse backgrounds such as sociology, economics, anthropology, nursing, hospital management, communications, etc. who have since undergone public health management training would also be considered. Public health administrators are concerned with health and disease prevention programs. They administer educational campaigns and try to keep the people they serve healthy. Other health professionals have similar aims of maintaining health but often are restorative or curative rather than preventive.
