New Delhi: Dvara Health Finance (DHF) and the Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR), Bangalore, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop and launch a Diploma in Community Health and Digital Healthcare Operations.
This pioneering programme is designed to train healthcare workers to bridge gaps between patients, digital health technologies, and licensed healthcare providers, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
This initiative supports the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) by developing a workforce skilled in deploying point-of-care diagnostics, digital health records, and telemedicine—all critical to making healthcare more accessible, efficient, and patient-centric.
The 11-month diploma programme is structured into four competency-based levels:
-
Community Health Facilitator: Educating communities on preventive healthcare, hygiene, and digital health record creation.
-
Digital Health Technician: Conducting health screenings and managing digital patient data.
-
Digital Multipurpose Health Worker: Performing phlebotomy, handling imaging tools, and supporting diagnostics.
-
Community Health Leader: Leading public health campaigns, coordinating referrals, and improving community engagement.
