This year we will set a new benchmark in our student centric approach which will be envy of other institutes operating in this field. Courses Health care is the next sunrise sector in India. If the medical insurance coverage in India increases by a mere 3% there will be no hospital beds available in India. This points to acute shortage of health care in India, as well as the man power required in this sector. The number of quality institutions operational in India is likely to go up by at least four fold in the next five years. This will leave a huge demand supply gap for trained nurses and paramedics. Not only in India but actually speaking shortage of nursing and paramedics are global phenomena with USA having almost a million vacancies. Similar is the story in the whole of Europe and Australia. It is not wrong to say that nursing and paramedical education is the surest way to get a global job opportunity. We at Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology are preparing our students for these global opportunities. We hope those trained by Kashmir Institute are unique and professionally competent and can take any challenge in this field.
