Congratulations to the National Health Authority (NHA) and the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, along with Koita Foundation on this major milestone in the country when it comes to promoting education on telemedicine services. It is a pivotal step in readying healthcare professionals for digital transformation and #ABDM adoption. A resilient health infrastructure is achievable only when well-trained healthcare professionals are equipped with the best technologies and opportunities for continuous learning. Earlier this year, Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, with the support of the Koita Foundation, launched the Digital Health Foundation Course. Intelehealth is thrilled to have played a part in the development of this pedagogy to serve last mile communities. This course is specifically tailored for medical students and healthcare professionals, providing essential knowledge and skills to effectively deliver healthcare using digital health applications. Students can utilise the Intelehealth platform in the Digital Health Lab to practice their virtual care skills and learn more about integrating telemedicine into their healthcare practice. With this latest collaboration, the impact grows much wider. We look forward to continue contributing to work that strengthens the health infrastructure of the country. #telenedicine #education #MUHS #DHFC #DigitalHealthLab #NationalHealthAuthority #NHA #Intelehealth
