The India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre, a partnership between the Swedish Trade Commissioner's Office, AIIMS New Delhi and AIIMS Jodhpur, has launched the 'Skill for Scale' programme. Under this program, a target of upskilling 5000 nurses has been fixed in the first year.
AIIMS Jodhpur tweet reads, "AIIMS Jodhpur launches Nurse’s Upskilling Program in Diabetes Management today through @IndiaSwedenIC with cross-country collaboration of @AstraZeneca, @aiims_newdelhi in the presence of @MoHFW_INDIA @BusinessSweIND Director, DDA, @drkuldeep, Principal College of Nursing, AIIMSJ."
Nurse's Upskilling Program to focus on Diabetes management in first phase
In the first phase, the program is going to focus on Diabetes management prevention and awareness based on a world-class comprehensive curriculum created from diverse resources available within the NCD domain following the NPCDCS guidelines, as reported by the India education diary.
Reportedly, the program content and modules will be created by the experts of AIIMS Jodhpur while the advisory board will have representation from AIIMS Delhi, ICMR, DGHS, Indian Nursing Council (INC) and AstraZeneca.
Dr Sanjeev Misra, Director, AIIMS Jodhpur said, “NCD disease burden is increasing significantly in India and is already accounting for more than 60% of deaths in India. It is also estimated that 1 in 4 people have a risk of dying from an NCD before the age of 70. This burden of NCD is expected to increase further over the coming years but the number of doctors with specializations available to treat these increasing numbers are very limited making it critical to upskill the existing healthcare practitioners in managing non-communicable diseases. "
"Through this initiative, we are trying to bridge the knowledge gap that exists at the point of care for patients. The curriculum of this program is carefully designed to enable nurses to deliver specialized care, essential support services and standardized counselling for patients living with an increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases in India,” he added.
