It is not only MBBS or equivalent medicine practitioners, the general misbelief, are responsible for maintenance of health in a society. Equally responsible are the paramedic personnel who help the doctor reach the correct diagnosis, treat or operate the patient or help in overall care of the patient and care and management of the health facilities.

The demand for such trained professionals is ever increasing and there is a huge gap between demand for such professionals and their availability. The reason for this can be associated with increasing awareness among the general masses of the people towards health and hygiene, mushrooming health-care facilities/ hospitals and initiatives to assure that only trained personnel be allowed to perform the specific duties. Also, there are a limited number of institutions which provide proper training to such Professional.

This makes it one of the best career options available to an aspiring student. The trained students are placed in hospitals, diagnostic facilities, poly-clinics and research institutions.
