Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive SWOT analysis to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the Public Health Management Cadre (PHMC) in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The PHMC aims to enhance healthcare delivery by establishing a dedicated cadre of public health professionals. The study combines primary and secondary data collection methods, including site visits and interviews with healthcare personnel. The results indicate strengths such as diverse cadres and political commitment, along with weaknesses like the absence of defined Terms of Reference. Opportunities lie in creating a specialized management cadre, while challenges include difficulties in recruiting public health-trained manpower. Recommendations include the constitution of a Task Force committee, transparent selection criteria, and collaboration with institutes for public health training.
