AB-PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat) enrolment growth is pushing district-level private hospitals to pursue NABH accreditation for government empanelment, creating demand outside the top-10 metro markets. Senior hospital administrators with NABH/JCI experience, financial management credentials, and demonstrated turnaround track records are in active shortage โ€” group COO salaries at large chains have grown 18-22% CAGR in the past 5 years.
