Our Purpose:

Despite astonishing advances in medicine and technology, health care organizations regularly fails at the fundamental job to reliably deliver what is required-Quality Healthcare. A recent report published in The Lancet states that "More Indians die of poor quality care than due to lack of access to healthcare." In 2016, 1.6 million Indians died due to poor quality of care."For too long, the global health discourse has been focused on improving access to care without sufficient emphasis on high-quality care,� said Muhammad Pate, co-chairman of The Lancet Global Health Commission and co-author of the report.

Substandard care was a factor in 84 percent of cardiovascular deaths and 61 percent of post-birth complications. Less than half of suspected tuberculosis cases were correctly managed, and fewer than one in 10 people with a major depressive disorder received even minimally adequate treatment, the report said. Diagnoses are frequently incorrect for serious conditions" such as pneumonia, heart attacks, or new born asphyxia and many others.

Continuous Medical Education (CME) plays a key role in keeping healthcare providers abreast with best practices and latest developments in the field of medicine. Many studies have proven that improving knowledge and skills of healthcare providers on a continuous basis enables them to translate appropriate knowledge to clinical practise.

While CME is an integral part of on-going medical training, these programmes are spread across the country and are usually in the form of workshops and conferences. Being present physically intervenes with the daily practices of many doctors and doctors in many rural areas are still missing out as they have little or no access to such CMEs.

This is where Digital CME comes in.
