Leadership Skills Development & Establishment of Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Tumor Boards

Abstract

Leadership and managerial skills have long been identified in the developed countries as essential components of their post graduate trainees to enable them to meet the challenges of modern health care systems. However, health care systems in LMIC have their own challenges. Certain models such as public, public-private partnerships, private, welfare and insurance-based systems do exist in this part of the world, but comprehensive and efficient integration is still lacking.

Cancer patients depend largely upon public sector facilities already over-burdened by long waiting list.
