Paramedics are responsible for emergency medical

care of persons involved in a number of incidents,

including violent assaults, strokes, boating and car

accidents, and serious injuries. They are the actually

the Biggest level of emergency medical personnel.

Their responsibility is to provide advanced emergency

care to patients who are being transported to

hospitals.

The Indian Paramedical and Healthcare systems

include public and private hospitals as well as

specialized other hospitals like ayurveda offering

this traditional Indian system of alternative

medicine.

Almost all locals and experts prefer using services of

private hospitals and clinics. All these private

hospitals and clinics are providing high standard of

care that is at the same level as North American and

European countries. Private hospitals are modern and

well equipped, and the doctors are highly qualified

and often trained abroad.

Indian Healthcare industry provides employment

opportunities to as many as 4 million

people in the health care segment or

other related sectors catering to the

needs of the medication. Indian has

become one of the favourite for

healthcare treatments which is owing

to the vast differences in medical

expenses in western countries. Due

to the India's progressive nature of

the healthcare sector several foreign

companies are intending to even

invest in the country. Health care

jobs are considered to be one among

of the most noble career options

which is known to be the single

largest profession all around the

world.

There are numerous medical

complexities & the need for

advanced medical care have

necessitated the recruitment of

qualified & experienced medical

professionals in this field such as

medical laboratory technicians

,radiologists, medical assistants,

doctors & physicians. Vital information on Hospitals

are provided by employment agencies who help

people register as healthcare workers, Medical

recruiting agencies, travel & resettlement agencies &

local recruiting.

Challenges facing Indian healthcare:

Challenges for Indian Healthcare remained same

even after lots of years have passed. While we have

seen $100 billion growth by 2015, the perennial

problems facing India are still those arising from

malnutrition (infant mortality, lacking overall

development), sanitation and access to affordable

hospitalization and clinical care.

On the other end of the spectrum, availability of a

skilled workforce – both doctors and nursing and

support staff – is cringing. Doctor-nurse density per

10,000 persons of the Indian population is an

abysmal 19 (6.5 doctors + 13 nurses). (WHO report

2012).

Page 5: Best Hotel Management Institute in Delhi

in clinical areas, restrooms and public spaces as well

as the kitchen and laundry that helps them to gain

the trust and confidence the patients and staff place

in the care.

Hospitals are hiring Hospitality professionals at

greater extent in order to incorporate a Service

Culture to optimize the Patient Experience. Also

it helps hospitals to become great hospital leaders in

the industry and improve their branding in the

market. The Main function of every hospital is to

communicate a healthy lifestyle to patients and their

circle of family & friends with accreditation of (non-

medical) Service Quality Standards.

Similarly as healthcare is taking advantage from a

hospitality-style approach of focusing on a service

culture, the hospitality industry can learn from

healthcare's expertise in complex-system

management, which involves a system with many

moving parts, some of which are independent of

each other, the presence of numerous intertwined

legal, human resource, and supply chain subsystems.

But the approaches we are taking with the patients

experience as well as in complex management

system are not likely to be very effective and will

not be able to help us to achieve the results we are

expecting and looking for in both the sectors.

So it is required to understand the link between both

the sectors and to use the learning from the areas for

reaping better benefits.

Healthcare means Healing with Hospitality. As we all

know that Global healthcare and Paramedical sector

is continuing to grow and change, so also the

expectations of patients are growing at medical and

non-medical level. To meet all the demands and

expectations Hospitals and Clinics are becoming

increasingly aware of the pivotal role of Hospitality &

Service Culture. At same level Hotels & Resorts are

rapidly improving their Health & Wellness services for

their guests.

To make it more clear we understand that when a

patient stays in a hospital, he and his family trust

you with their lives and their well-being. They trust

the hospital to work and to deliver the disease

prohibition solutions across your facility that will help

the hospitals to constantly improve patient outcomes

and improve the operational efficiency.

Every Hospital or Healthcare center takes care of

various issues like disinfection, cleaning and

hygiene

There is something about the number 10; it often signifies maturity, recognition and a sense of

achievement. We are now officially 10 years old, can stand up and be counted. We have seen our fair

share of ups and downs. We have moved, passed various challenges that an education entails; both

internal and external and we have effectively carved a niche for ourselves in hospitality and Healthcare

Education. We have obviously learnt from the past, tried our best to eliminate the mistakes and consolidate

on our strengths. In fact, it has only just begun, but today we feel like we have finally arrived. It is probably

C radle of Management Institute is one of the premier bank of knowledge which is

dedicated towards empowering the young talent towards the amazing and

bright line of career in Hotel Management and Hotel Operations. With several

certifications like ISO and affiliation from esteemed Universities. It has much to offer to

the students in comparison to any other hotel management institution/college.

I wish Cradle of Management Institute all the best for the future and wish them luck

in shaping better careers.

Chef Vivek Saggar HEAD- BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT (TOURISM & HOSPITALITY SKILL COUNCIL)

GENERAL SECRETARY-INDIAN CULINARY FORUM

T he idiom of Athithi Devo Bhava (Guest is God) is ingrained in our culture. And

this attitude is reflected in all aspects of Hospitality industry. The demand for

trained manpower in this sector is rising by the day. With the government's initiative “skill India” emphasis is also being laid on tourism as well as hospitality. The

onus of developing career path, skill competency and qualifications to meet the

estimated demand of two lac personnel per year is on the Institutes.

The food industry is growing in terms of number and size; we are exposed to new

concepts, international and regional cuisines. It is the chefs who have been

continuously

contributing to the evolution of gourmet experience, creating art of plating and signature dishes

through innovations. It's amazing to see the precision of science and creative art that chefs practice. They

have the challenging task of maximizing productivity, controlling costs, upgrading menus and introducing new

dishes to keep the restaurant contemporary. Going a step further today we see many restaurant concepts which are chef owned and driven, that successfully

compete with others. Positive attitude, energy and friendliness will take one a long way in this field. Other than

that, good communication skills, excellent organisational and administrative skills, personal charm, a polite and

pleasing personality, flexibility and a confident approach are the skills which will help any individual to grow in

this field. One has to be comfortable with unearthly working hours and doing menial work at times

Bmanager in 2-5 years”. To a graduating student or to a newcomer joining college

udding Hoteliers and soon graduating students often ask me: “What is the secret

to success”, “What is the best department where I can grow fast and become a

or his first job, there seems to be so much to learn in order to become an expert at his/her trade or a successful hotel manager. At times it may seem intimidating and a daunting

task. However A.S.K.(attitude, Skill & Knowledge)are cumulative and if you make a

concious effort to master your basics (management skills) right, it may seem

very exciting and challenging for you.

Hoteliers are MADE, not born. Being called a hotelier is not for the meak hearted or

the un-proactive individual. When you are young and inexperienced, if you want to

stand

out, you must be willing to work hard and for long hours — and in the hotel business you know you are paid less

than your IT & doctorate friends. I remember my mentor told me that I should always volunteer to take on extra

tasks. In time, people will notice that you are a team player and you will be valued more. I was willing

to sacrifice in order to get what I wanted — I dreamed of being a GM. But, of course, I loved what I did. I

enjoy working in the service industry. Luck, being at the right place at the time, is another factor. Sometimes,

you can make your "luck" but that is not always true.

My advice to any young hotelier has always been very simple and easy to read but is very difficult to achieve

1. Master your communication skills (English/ Hindi/ Vocabulary) and be quick with your responses – no

guest likes to wait

2. Learn to be proactive, don't wait to be told. Always grab an opportunity to be noticed for pre conceiving

guest/ seniors requests.

3. Know your brand and its service standards.

4. Be a team member (at a junior position and even when you're a manager)

5. SMILE – its tax free

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish, Suites Hotels by Carlson, Gurgaon and always remember

“The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success”

On achieving a milestone of 500 bone marrow

transplants by Department of Hemato-Oncology and

Bone Marrow Transplant at BLK Super Speciality

Hospital, the team of doctors have launched a new

advanced mode of therapy to treat patients with

graft versus host failures (GVHD) following

transplants. The department of Hematology and

Transfusion Medicine have introduced this new

immunotherapy called Extra Corporeal Photopheresis

(ECP). Extracorporeal photopheresis is an intensive

procedure which involves the removal and collection

of a portion of a patient's blood cells mainly white

blood cells (eg. lymphocytes). Furthers a light

sensitive drug is added to these cells and cell are

exposed to an UV light before re-infusing them back

to the patients. The treated cells infusion show

altered immune response and cause the down

regulation of the immune function in patients with

many skin conditions as well as GVHD.

ECP is a standard treatment of care for patients with

a rare skin cancer called Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma

(CTCL) in western world and it also offers a ray of

hope for patients suffering from GVHD mainly

involving the skin and gastro intestinal tract. As the

team of doctors at BLK Hospital, pioneered the bone

marrow transplant, now they are moving ahead in

treating the transplant patient suffering from GVHD.

This is one of the most advanced treatments which

can be offered to these patients and its one of its

kind available in India till now.

Michelle Obama announced

"Processed Food begone"!

In days to come, I noticed similar

protests at home, here in India.

Read about them in Food &

magazines and even national

dailies. Is it all a matter of

chance, I wondered, or maybe it

was always there just that I never

noticed.

One way or the other, I told myself this was yet

another movement originating in the west having

travelled the usual route via television channels;

social media pages, groups and petitions and award

winning recipe books. It is on its way to become a

fad here.

Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream

Say-No-To-All-Processed-Food that it seems anyone

who has ever liked processed food must feel

ashamed of having done that.

Modern fast/processed food is disastrous and that

message is propagated

I do have a very secret submission, at the risk of all

the hate mails and messages to follow. I do not

agree with this. In fact all this outcry is outright

nonsense.

herself from crying. Eva pursed her lips as she tried to

gather the strength to say something.”What the doctors

say?” she nally managed.

“I-I don't know, I haven't talked to them yet.” She turned her head on the pillow. “It doesn't matter; I

know what's going to happen anyway.” Shreya walked over to the bed slowly and sank to her knees
