title: The need for an Institute of Hospital Management.
abstract: The monitoring mechanism of activities of the government preventive health sector is better than that of the curative sector, although much more money is spent on the latter. Recent initiatives for monitoring the curative sector should be strengthened by establishment of an institute of hospital management. The need for such an institute has been recognised for about 15 years. This need has been further emphasised by recent studies and discussions.
