India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre, a collaboration between the Swedish Trade Commissioner’s Office, AIIMS New Delhi and AIIMS Jodhpur, has launched a specialised training programme for nurses to equip them with world-class practical know-how required in managing diabetes. In the first training, 30 nurses from AIIIMS Jodhpur will be trained for 2 days. 

India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre is created to address the healthcare challenges in the country through key pillars – Technology, Protocol & process and Capability building. 

In a phased manner, this capability programme aims to upskill 5000 nurses across the country in the next year by converting the current modules into e-learning. The programme also aims to expand the current curriculum to other non-communicable diseases (NCD) areas including hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and oncology.

The modules of this program are carefully designed to enable nurses to deliver specialized care, essential support services and standardized counselling for patients living with these high incidence non-communicable diseases in India.

The initiative will run under the aegis and direction of an Advisory Committee under the chairmanship of Prof Suresh K Sharma, Professor & Principal, College of Nursing, AIIMS, Jodhpur.
