Health is considered as a state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
- Dr. Ashok Kumar Saxena (Director General of Health Services)
With his words, it is clear that health is one of the imperative parameters of a nation’s development. Obviously, the Healthcare industry is highly responsible for society and the environment.
In India, the Ministry of health and family welfare is an authoritative body that regulates the healthcare industry. The Directorate General of Health Services is an attached organization that acts as a technical knowledge repository concerning Public Health, Medical Education and Health Care.
