Intuitive, a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, is working with the Healthcare Sector Skill Council (HSSC), a recognised body under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), to support the government’s efforts in skilling emergency healthcare professionals to meet the growing demand for qualified personnel.
“By combining advanced robotic-assisted technologies with HSSC’s expertise in skill development, we aim to empower healthcare professionals across India with critical skills and expertise required to transform patient care,” said Rohitt Mahajan, Vice President and General Manager, Intuitive India.
Through this initiative, HSSC and Intuitive contribute to training healthcare professionals in critical skills associated with emergency medical responses. More than 200 candidates in Delhi and Jharkhand are undergoing a structured training programme as Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).
As crucial frontline responders, EMTs play a vital role in delivering timely medical care during emergency situations. The programme is designed to enhance their employability and provide career opportunities in the healthcare sector. This initiative aligns with the broader vision of empowering youth with industry-relevant skills and supporting the development of a skilled workforce.
This initiative aligns with the objectives of the Skill India initiative, which was launched to bridge the gap between industry demands and workforce capabilities through structured skill development programs.
Commenting on the objective of the initiative, Ashish Jain, CEO, HSSC said, “By working alongside industry leaders like Intuitive, we are committed to building a robust, sustainable, and industry-aligned skilling ecosystem for the healthcare sector. HSSC aims to bridge the demand-supply gap by equipping professionals with specialized skills, hands-on experience, and industry-relevant knowledge."
