(KEL) are pleased to announce a workshop on – ‘Challenges and Opportunities in Managing a Medical Institution in India Today’ to its members and potential members.  While medical institutions with colleges and hospitals has grown tremendously in the last 2 decades in India, it also has thrown in several challenges to existing institutions as well as opportunities to newer as well as existing entities. 

St. John's National Academy of Health Sciences, Bangalore (SJNAHS), is one of the few organizations which have made a mark in the field of health and health education at the national level. The Institution seeks to make a qualitative contribution to health care, medical education and research through the training of medical, paramedical, nursing, health management, community health workers, and other personnel

SJNAHS has grown from strength to strength since its inception.  Established in 1963 by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, SJNAHS consists of a Medical College, counted as one of the best in the nation, a state of the art Hospital with 1200 beds for all medical and surgical departments including super-specialty departments, a top class College of Nursing, a Research Institute - the first in a medical school - with the most modern facilities including a Bio repository and an Institute of Health Care Management and Paramedical Studies, all spread over 132 acres of verdant campus in the salubrious climate of the Garden City of Bangalore.

The mission of St. John's is to train health care professionals who are ready to serve the people in any nook and corner of the nation. In this effort, St. John's has succeeded to harmonize dedication to excellence with commitment to social justice in health care. Fr. Lawrence D’Souza has taken over as the Director of St. Johns National Academy of Health Sciences last year. 

Fr. Lawrence brings with him vast experience in Hospital Administration and an insatiable thirst for excellence. He enjoys a brilliant academic career in varied subjects: A B.Sc. Degree with Physics and Chemistry from St Aloysius College, Mangalore, a Post Graduate in Philosophy from Karnataka University, Dharwad, securing 1st rank in the University, a PG Diploma in Business Management from St Aloysius College, a degree in Law (LLB) from SDM Law College securing 1st Rank and 2 Gold Medals. He went for higher studies to Fordham University, New York where he completed MA in Religious Studies & Ph D on "Administration and Supervision”.

Prior to taking over as Director of St. Johns, Fr. Lawrence was the Secretary, Catholic Board of Education for 7 years and Administrator for Father Muller Medical College Hospital & College of Nursing for 8 years. He also worked as an Associate Pastor, Our Lady of Mercy Church, New York from 1992-1994 & Associate Pastor, Sacred Heart Church, New York 1994-1998.

    I am extremely happy to know that Rev. Dr. Lawrence D'Souza has proceeded to The Middle East to share his thoughts and knowledge with friends and business people over there. His bio clearly indicates that he is a talented and experienced person in various fields. His has a wonderful track record and I am a personal witness to his abilities as I had the pleasure of working with him at Father Muller's Hospital where I was a Governing Board Member for over fifteen years.

    His approach is realistic but he can be firm when the need arises. It has been my privilege to see this young priest climbing up the ladder of advancement. My good wishes are with him. Joe Gonsalves

    Well done KEL in Organising such a good seminar.Fr. Lawrence is the best in the business and will put things in perspective. As much as I would like to attend the seminar,prior committments force me to stay away. I Wish the event every success. A St. Johns like Hospital/Medical College in the Middle East will go a long way in catering for the Quality Health Care and the Medical Education needs of our NRI folks.
