sector is also in need of more staff.

the crisis has served to highlight how vital healthcare workers are to the overall
economy.

An aging indian population is projected to drive a surge in a diversity of
healthcare jobs: Physicians ,ENT specialists ,Pulmonologist, Internal medicine
and anaesthetists nursing aides, physical therapist assistants, physician assistants,
nurse practitioners and healthcare managers and administrators. There's
opportunity in health across the spectrum of educational paths.
The majority of the highest-paying occupations are in healthcare. ENT Surgeons
and anesthesiologists typically earn over 60 lakhs per year. Like all medical
doctors, these specialists must complete at least 11 years of postsecondary
education and training.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak may have led to several people losing
their jobs. But one section of the job market is seeing a surge in demand as it's at
the frontline of the fight against COVID-19.
Data from job portal Indeed showed the healthcare sector has seen greater interest
from job seekers in India over the course of the past year.
Between February 2019 to February 2020, the number of healthcare sector job
searches has increased 5 percent, as per the Indeed data.

crisis. The Indian government has also offered them a special insurance package

treating patients.
These frontline workers include not just doctors but also nurses, hospital ward
boys, technicians, pharmacists among several others involved in running a
hospital.

Data from Indeed showed that Bengaluru holds the largest share of jobs in
healthcare nationally, with 10 percent of all medical jobs located in the city. It is
followed by Mumbai and New Delhi, both with 8 percent of all medical jobs in
the country.
Dr.Mahboob Khan, World renowned healthcare consultant said, “As the job
market slows down in the wake of a global pandemic, essential services continue
to drive demand, such as in the medical and public health fields. Despite the
temporary slump in the sector, healthcare continues to be one of the foremost
drivers of the nation’s economic growth.”
Career platforms are also taking cognisance of the fact that healthcare jobs are
the need of the hour.
On April 2, professional networking site LinkedIn announced that it is offering
free job postings in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The
company said in a statement that these jobs include those in industries like
healthcare, supermarket, warehousing, and freight delivery, as well as disaster
relief non-profits.
