What first comes into one’s mind when a hospital is named? Doctors and Nurses. Well, let me tell you that this is not it. Jobs regarding a hospital vary in nature.Doctors and nurses are not the only vacancy in a smoothly running hospital. The jobs that are there in a hospital might not be as clear as we imagine. Since a hospital signifies people healing, the very first image that occurs in our brain is of doctors along with nurses operating on a patient. And that becomes the full picture.

Even on internet when you search for hospital jobs the first thing you see is the requirement of a medical examiner somewhere, lets say ‘King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital’ in Riyadh. What we fail to acknowledge is what other factors contributed in the picture that developed in your mind. We fail to acknowledge the perfect lighting in the operating room, the rightful division surgeries for doctors, the management of patients, the availability of clean equipment. All of this creates a hub of job opportunities in a hospital for people experienced in different skills.

Doctors

Although, we said doctors are not it. They have the biggest part in running a hospital.

It is the doctors who are either the physicians or the surgeons who treat the patient and ensure that cured people leave the hospital to accommodate more sickly patients in their place. For that reason, hospitals not only employ surgeons for surgeries but physicians or medical examiners in their building to accommodate the out patients and make sure that they do not develop any more symptoms that might lead to scary surgeries.

Nurses

After the doctors, the second biggest part in a hospital is of a nurse. The nurses might not be as educated to hold a scalpel surgeries but years of working with the doctors sometimes makes them more talented in diagnosing the patients at times. Furthermore, it is this very case and the fact that doctors tend to not deal with the patient from start till the very end so it is the nurses who prepare the patient until the doctor arrives and deal with helping patients until they discharge while the doctor had to attend to other patient.

Management

All the credit of the effective functioning of a hospital goes to its management. Everything from the complicated surgeries to the simple and easy checkups are scheduled by the people working in the management department of a hospital.They work on the forefront of the hospital and without doubt are the pillar of the organization. It is due to them that the hospitals are able to generate profit which are to be used in further expansion. Hence, hospitals are not completely void of individuals related to business management. It can be said that the medical field and business field has to go hand in hand for a better result, for a better hospital. Hence, more diverse jobs appear in the respective building.

Maintenance

Although not visible, the maintenance staff plays a big role in a smoothly running hospital. The maintenance staff works in the background to ensure that the lighting are proper in order to avoid hindrances in medical procedures. They are the ones who ensure that electric problems are solved immediately and that the mess created by doctors in carrying out procedures is cleared. They have to maintain an acceptable, germ free environment for the further functions of the hospital. It is they who make sure that the equipment is sterilized.

House Keeping

Not just this, they have to work hand in hand with the house keeping employees to clean up behind everyone as nurses do not do that since they too belong to a medical background rather than house keeping. As a result this department has to engulf a whole another department increasing the number of jobs at a hospital. And when it is a hospital in Saudi Arabia, jobs are supposed to further increase as personal servants are employed by the upper class in the country who tend to have more belief in the help they hire themselves.

Conclusion

Conclusively, it can be said that a hospital does not comprise of only medical related jobs no matter which country it is located in. It is a combination of medical and non-medical staff that comprise of hospital jobs. Therefore, when one witnesses the effectively run hospital, it is a whole umbrella of jobs that are at play behind and in front of the picture.
