The training division at the Centre for Chronic Conditions and Injuries led by Professor Prabhakaran and Dr Sandeep Bhalla has trained more than 20,000 primary care physicians across the country through their various capacity building initiatives.
Winning the prestigious QCI- DL Shah Platinum award in addition to other leading awards in skill development is a testimony to our endeavour and commitment of working towards a Healthier India. Our health systems can be effective and equitable only when primary health care is widely accessible and scientifically of sound quality. The award exemplifies PHFI’s Mission which is to contribute to the better quality healthcare of all citizens, especially through skill development and knowledge advancement in primary health care.
The PHFI would like to thank the World Heart Federation for the all the support extended in making this achievement possible and look forward to continue working towards a healthier India through the WHF.
