ITANAGAR, 19 Sep:<\/strong> A state-level consultation meeting on ‘Adoption of ECHO India model for training of personnel of health department’ was chaired by Health & Family Welfare Commissioner Pawan Kumar Sain at the civil secretariat here on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Established in 2008, the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model is a non-profit trust focused on bringing equity, primarily in the fields of healthcare and education, through capacity building of healthcare practitioners and educators. The ECHO’s ‘hub and spoke’ model of learning – the hub being a group of experts who regularly mentor the learners (spokes) – uses a cutting-edge digital infrastructure called iECHO to enable capacity building at speed and scale in a sustainable and cost-effective way, it informed in a release.<\/p>\n

The health department has agreed to adopt the ECHO model for capacity building, and has appointed Dr Tana Natung as the state nodal officer. A tentative, time-bound action plan has also been developed to implement this initiative.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, ECHO vice president Dr Sandeep Bhalla delivered a presentation on ECHO India’s nationwide activities, highlighting the organisation’s signing memorandums of understanding with 24 states.<\/p>\n

He emphasised how the ECHO model has “transformed training methodologies, significantly reducing costs while maintaining high training quality.”<\/p>\n

Following Dr Bhalla’s presentation, ECHO India’s state nodal officer for child health Dr Tana Natung spoke about the state’s training initiatives under the ECHO model.<\/p>\n

He underscored “the potential for all state programme and nodal officers to adopt the ECHO model, thereby conserving resources for other critical department needs,” the release stated.<\/p>\n

“The meeting marked the conclusion of a three-day visit by ECHO India to Arunachal Pradesh, during which the team explored collaboration opportunities with the health and education departments,” the release stated.<\/p>\n

Significant progress has been made, including the rollout of a certificate course in cardio-metabolic syndrome for 274 allopathy general duty medical officers on 26 August, 2024, expected to be completed within a year, it said, adding that “certificate course on ‘child death review – roles and responsibilities of community-level health functionaries’ was launched on 16 September, 2024, aiming to train 4405 ASHAs.”<\/p>\n

The meeting was attended by, among others, Health & Family Welfare Secretary Krishna Kumar Singh, NHM Mission Director Marge Sora, TRIHMS Director Dr Moji Jini, Health Services Director Dr Riken Rina, Medical Education Research & Training Director Dr Hage Ambing, and Family Welfare Director Amping Perme Ete.<\/p>\n
