NCHEA to start PG course in hospital engineering

Sapna Dogra - New Delhi

The National Centre of Hospital Engineering and Architecture (NCHEA), 
the research and training wing of the Institute of Hospital Engineering, 
India, established at PGI Chandigarh in 2004, is all set to start a 
distance learning post graduate programme in hospital engineering in 
collaboration with the Durban Business School by the end of this year. 
The School of Architecture and Planning (SAP) Anna University, Chennai 
has taken the initiative to prepare the curriculum and syllabus for the 
same.

The course would offer three PG level programmes: a six-month 
certificate programme, one-year PG diploma and two-year Masters degree 
programme. According to the national chairperson, NCHEA, the response to 
this course announcement has been overwhelming and already School of 
Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, Academia of Architects Mumbai, 
Rizvi School of Architecture, Mumbai have volunteered to be the centres 
for these programmes. Even the Council of Architects and the Vice 
Chancellor of Anna University have supported the programme, he informed.

Architects, engineers, health administrators and nurses, with experience 
in healthcare planning are eligible for these programmes. There are only 
15 seats per centre.
