1.About HSTP
The Forum for Health Systems Design and Transformation, also known as the Health Systems Transformation Platform (HSTP), is a Section 8 not-for-profit company incorporated under the aegis of Tata Trusts. HSTP works with state governments and other partners to strengthen public health systems in India through research, technical support and programme implementation. Its work on human resources for health includes supporting workforce policy development and strengthening the leadership and management capabilities of public-sector health professionals.
2.Background
India’s public health system is often overburdened. Shortage of healthcare personnel in the Government health facilities often lead doctors and physicians to increasingly undertake leadership, administrative and programme management responsibilities in addition to their clinical duties. However, given their professional education is primarily clinical, it may not fully prepare them for strategic planning, team and resource management, financial stewardship, data-informed decision-making, stakeholder coordination, conflict management and performance monitoring.
To address these competency gaps, a Leadership Development Programme (LDP) was designed by the Health Systems Transformation Platform HSTP, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIM, Calcutta) public sector doctors and health officials. The programme aimed to strengthen the leadership, management and operational capabilities of doctors and physicians, required to lead teams, manage programmes and contribute to effective health-system functioning.
