The handbook on Hospital Waste Management is an
excellent effort to create awareness about Hospital Waste Management
in all the categories of staff. It will help as a reference
book as most of the Rules, Regulations, Guidelines issued in
this regard from time to time are also incorporated in the book,
which are otherwise not readily available in the official records.
The authors have done a commendable job which will be of immense
help, not only to the hospital administrators of health care
institutions, but also to the multitude of staff viz. nursing
administrators, laboratory personnel, hospital engineers, sanitation
officers, etc. in implementing a rational, comprehensive and
scientific Waste Management programme in their organizations.

Book Review by :- Dr Libert Anil Gomes,
Associate Professor& Incharge Head, Department of Hospital
Administration, Katurba Medical College & Hospital, Manipal.
As per recent surveys and studies by industry associations,
Indian healthcare industry is set for a major growth with
revamp and radical changes in the service delivery model and
outcome. This necessitates the need to have dynamic healthcare
administrators, who will drive the industry to greater heights
and glory. Unfortunately, the training of healthcare managers
has never been a priority in India. There are very few books
available on hospital administration from Indian authors.
Dr RK Sarma and Dr Yashpal Sharma, who have a long experience
in hospital administration in the country's premier institutes,
have bridged this gap by their 'Hand book On Hospital
Administration, Making a difference'.
Prof R K Sarma is currently the Director of North Eastern
Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health & Medical Sciences,
(NEIGRIHMS) Shillong. Dr Sarma earlier served as Medical Superintendent
and Professor & Head of Department of Hospital Administration
at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.
Dr Yashpal Sharma is the Medical Superintendent of Shree Gulab
Singh Hospital (SMGSH), Government Medical College, Jammu.
The authors make substantial and genuine attempts to cover
a vast and vital area in a concise book from their long practical
experience in the field of hospital administration. The handbook
covers conceptual knowledge about hospital planning, design
and administration. Authors have discussed hospital administration
as a specialty in the beginning with a note on historical
evolution, primary healthcare and the recent technological
revolution in healthcare. In the second chapter, procedures
and guidelines of hospital management are described, including
organizational manual. In the subsequent chapters, various
subjects such as clinical care services, nursing services
and ward management, support services, hospital supply systems
are discussed in detail. Communication system in hospitals
and public relations, which play a vital role in hospital
image and performance, are given due recognition. Hospital
hazards pose challenges to today's administrators and the
authors have described them in detail and the safety measures.
Consumer Protection Act and medical waste management have
drawn the attention of the public and the press, forcing the
hospitals to set up elaborate, expensive systems to prevent
the possible damages. Budget is often the difficult task for
mangers to negotiate and allocate resources. Evaluation of
hospital services, which is the prime area of concern for
hospital administrators in today's competitive market, is
well presented. This book is very useful for students and
faculty of hospital/ healthcare administration.
