GE Healthcare has announced a US$1 billion global training programme programme, including the Skill India Initiative.
The initiative, developed by GE Healthcare, will bring together healthcare and education experts to train and educate more than 100,000 new and existing healthcare professionals in India over the next five years, said GE Healthcare which will enhance training for over two million health professionals globally by 2020.
New training and education solutions expected to benefit more than 300 million patients worldwide
It is investing over $1 billion to develop and deliver localized commercial offerings for the healthcare sector, including a new class of technology-enabled training solutions.
“Challenges around localized capacity building, training and innovation are consistent themes for many healthcare systems and Ministries of Health around the world,” said John Flannery, President & CEO of GE Healthcare.
“We will continue to work closely with local governments, institutions and customers to address some of their most important concerns. In some countries, this will mean training midwives to use new ultrasound or portable diagnostic equipment. In others, it will include supporting multi-hospital networks to enhance their clinical and operational outcomes.”
