Rising skill gap has emerged to be one of the key barriers in healthcare sector. Skill gap in healthcare is approximately 97.9% across various health workforce categories in India. (Source: Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) The burden of rising healthcare costs and rapidly increasing population has further widened this gap, making it difficult for country to equate healthcare needs with existing means.

The notion behind proposed course is to skill and enhance the quality of healthcare professionals primarily in “care giving” in India because there is no such concept of patient caregiving at the moment in India.
