Health Ministry inks MoU with IGNOU to scale-up healthcare courses
Tuesday, June 26, 2018 IST
Under this MoU, curriculum for 10 courses especially designed for the health sector, will provide more than 14 lakh trained manpower by 2025, said Union Health Minister J P Nadda.
“Such courses will ensure that the health sector gets adequate skilled health workers,” he said.
Nadda pointed out that “we must also ensure that quality is not compromised” and there has to be regular review to add new courses.
Javadekar said this was a historic moment as three ministries of health, education and skill are coming together to meet the large manpower requirements in the burgeoning healthcare sector.
A robust monitoring and assessment framework will be established under the MoU to ensure that Health Ministry standards are followed stringently.
The ministry will provide for financial assistance to IGNOU for establishing the structure and initiating the programmes.
The courses will be initiated in a phased manner across the country by IGNOU.
