"Thank you for your email and to include me in this program. I have reviewed the program and I believe you cover the topic very well. I will add a topic on benchmarks in Data analytics and use cases from different countries. Also, you can have a section where tech companies will present to the students to give them a flavour of what are the industry trends out there. We can even prepare an official site visit to MOHAP or DHA to see some of the data analytics achievements in healthcare."
