Hai,

Myself Ashlin Joby Thekkan. Living in a place known as God’s Own Country – Kerala, India.

I have a Masters Degree in Hospital Administration (MHA) and is working in the healthcare industry for the last 10 years.

When I found myself really passionate about teaching topics related with healthcare administration, I started looking for platforms through which I can reach out to other healthcare professionals, I found starting a blog itself is the right platform for me.

And that helped me to become the founder of Healthcare InfoGuide, “A Detailed Guide on Hospital and Healthcare Policies, SOPs and Guidelines!”.
