There are roughly 18 lakh registered nurses/ midwives in India. The anticipated demand for the coming years is in the region of 25 lakh more nurses. To add to the problem, a large proportion, if not the majority, of recently certified nursing professionals are put into the marketplace with marginal or absent nursing skills. The impact on hospital service quality is considerable. Most hospitals have neither the time, personnel or resources to train and “upskill” fresh recruits. We are an organisation specifically providing intensive skill training to bridge this deficit. SkillsForMED has a range of packages that provide closely supervised, hands-on training augmented by an innovative, IT-based learning and evaluation system. In a short time frame, hospitals can ensure that newly hired nurses meet high standards of patient care quality before being deployed to the bedside.
