The studies are qualitative, quantitative or a mix of both the types. A wide range of health problems ranging from communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases to women's health issues are covered. The student applies theoretical knowledge to the selected issue to come up with remarkable results. The data collection, analysis and application help apply the concept in the eld.

ABOUT SCHOOL OF HEALTH SYSTEMS STUDIES Continuing with its tradition of having a futuristic approach towards development, Tata Institute of Social Sciences became the pioneering institute to introduce the Certicate in Hospital istration, as early as 1980, which was upgraded to a Diploma in 1986.

In the year 1993, the department added a new feather in its cap by starting the Master in Health and Hospital istration Programme.

The studies are qualitative, quantitative or a mix of both the types. A wide range of health problems ranging from communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases to women's health issues are covered. The student applies theoretical knowledge to the selected issue to come up with remarkable results. The data collection, analysis and application help apply the concept in the eld.
