This is a Students’ blog. It is a platform for us, the Students of School of Health Systems Studies (SHSS) to express our ideas; but please note the word “IDEA”. An idea, a product of human mind...there is no guarantee of it being right but that doesn’t mean that we cannot express it! The blog is not a peer-reviewed journal or a sponsored publication. That does mean something…it means that information here is the product of our brain which is under evolution at SHSS and it is UNPROOFED and UNREVISED.

About SHSS

Healthcare research and education at TISS began with initiation of the Certificate course in Hospital Administration in 1975 followed by the Diploma in Hospital Administration in 1980. Masters degree courses in Health Administration and Hospital Administration were started in 1993. 2006 was a landmark year in the history of TISS when the Department of Health System Studies was restructured to form the School of Health System Studies.
The Indian healthcare system is in a phase of transformational change which is revolutionizing the entire scenario. The School of Health System Studies has been instrumental in putting these changes ‘in perspective’ through on-field and off-field activities of research, and applications of the various concepts of healthcare management.

Today the School has 4 centers:

•    Centre for Health and Social Sciences
•    Centre for Health Policy, Planning and Management
•    Centre for Public Health
•    Centre for Hospital Management

The School conducts 4 Masters Degree courses – Master of Hospital Administration, Master of Health Administration, Master of Public Health (Social Epidemiology), Master of Public Health (Health Policy), and a Diploma in Hospital Administration.

For more than two decades, backed by historical accomplishments, seasoned faculty, focussed curriculum and the finest industry exposure, the SHSS has been churning out dynamic professionals who make their mark and uphold the tradition and ethos of TISS in the field of healthcare administration.
