healthcare professionals with specialized training in healthcare management,
clinical information system management and health services administration. The

professionally and for that reason BBA in Hospital and Healthcare Management is
getting very popular now a days. If we see towards the market then we find that
there is a wide gap between demand and supply for trained healthcare
professionals in the hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and in healthcare
