Professional Experience:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my keen interest in the suitable positions at your organization. With over twelve years of progressive experience in health policy, healthcare financing, public-private partnerships, and health systems strengthening, I have honed my skills in program management, strategic planning, and team leadership. My recent MSc in Health Policy Planning and Financing from the London School of Economics and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine further complements my practical experience, equipping me with a robust theoretical foundation in global health policy, healthcare financing, and system performance measurement.
In my last role as a Senior Public Health Expert with Management Sciences for Health, I successfully established a project from the ground up, recruiting and leading national and state teams to enhance project performance. My efforts resulted in a significant increase in contract onboarding efficiency from 60% to 90% and a reduction in payment turnaround time from over 400 days to under 50 days for the contractors engaged under National TB Program. These achievements demonstrate my capacity to lead complex health initiatives, manage high-performing teams, and forge strategic partnerships that drive sustainable health outcomes.
My tenure as a PPP Expert at Central Tb Division, supporting the Government of India, showcased my ability to design and implement comprehensive public-private partnership frameworks. I contributed developing operational guidelines and private partnerships in nine high TB burden states, contributing to the Program Towards Elimination of Tuberculosis. My collaborative approach ensured the successful integration of private sector resources into national health programs, enhancing service delivery and access to care.
During my tenure within the public sector at the National Health Mission, I played a pivotal role in strengthening health systems through budget preparation, workforce planning, and the launch of critical public health initiatives. My leadership in rolling out immunization campaigns and establishing Health and Wellness Centres under the Ayushman Bharat initiative reflects my deep commitment to improving health outcomes at the community level. I also led recruitment initiatives that significantly reduced the specialist doctor vacancy rate from 80% to less than 10%, underscoring my strategic and operational excellence in human resources for health.
The modules I pursued during my recent MSc, including Financing Healthcare, Measuring Health System Performance, Health Policy Process and Power, and Pharmaceutical Economics and Policy, have reinforced my ability to navigate complex health systems and craft policies that are evidence-based and contextually relevant.
I have consistently demonstrated strong team management and relationship-building skills, fostering collaboration across diverse stakeholders, including government officials, private healthcare providers, and international agencies. My ethical approach to public health challenges ensures that I prioritize the needs of vulnerable populations while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss further how my skills and experiences align with your organization's needs. I have included a link below showcasing some of the tools and documents I have contributed to developing. Thank you for considering my application.
Warm regards,
Dr. Trushar Parmar
