New training manuals for a palliative care revolution in India
A silent revolution is on its way.
You might remember that the National Health Policy of 2017 included palliative care. The National Health System Resource Centre (NHSRC) of Government of India, in a massive fast-pace effort has created training materials to reach 50,000 family wellness centres at the national level. According to the plan, at least three professional healthcare providers from each of these places will be trained resulting in a massive empowerment programme for 150,000 of them.
In addition to these training manuals, the docket also includes educational videos, each of an average of five minutes duration.
Thank you NHSRC and the Ministry of Health of Government of India for allowing Pallium India to work with you. And we are grateful for the large number of experts in palliative care and geriatrics who came forward to make this happen at lightning speed.
