Dear Dr Nayyar
Reference to your Email on public health forum regarding M.Sc health policy& management, are those studenrs who have done most parts of MMPH or have finished the course eligible to take admission in M.Sc HP&M course. If yes what subjects He/She will have to go through, i mean is there any concession in terms of subjects for the MMPH students or graduates.
