About CII Institute of Logistics

To address the need of sharpening India Inc’s competitive edge through better Logistics and Supply Chain practices, CII Institute of Logistics (CII-IL) was established in 2004 by the Confederation of Indian Industry as a Center of Excellence in Logistics and Supply Chain.

Having identified the need for Logistics and Supply Chain excellence for the industry to become sustainable and competitive at the global level, CII-IL provides various Education Programs for Graduates and non-graduates, in order to fill up the skill gap in the Logistics industry by providing competent human resources.

About the Programme

Logistics and supply chain management is far more than storing goods and documentation. For delivering efficient and effective health care services it is necessary to design right supply network and manage the flow of health care goods. The knowledge of Logistics and Supply chain management is essential for every manager in health care sector to plan and deliver quality services.

The Sankara Nethralaya and CII Institute of Logistics jointly developed PGDSCM in Hospital and Health Care Services by keeping in mind the contemporary and immediate future needs of the rapidly emerging sector in India. The programme emphasizes importance of focusing on customers, health professionals and eventually patients. It focuses on demand rather than upstream stages of the supply network.

The programme provides balanced inputs on Hospital and Health Care Services business requirements regardless of their scale. The first two semesters focus on Hospital management and administration providing participants good fundamental knowledge of various functions. Building upon the foundation the third and fourth semesters focus on Supply chain management functional drivers.

The programme covers all aspects of supply chain management from managing information and communication, carrying out an assessment, setting up medical stores, selecting and sourcing health care goods, transport and distribution.
