Training Division

The Training Division at PHFI focuses on implementing various capacity building initiatives that aim to upgrade the knowledge, skills and core competencies of healthcare professionals in clinical conditions and various public health domains.

Current Enrollment

These training programs have been selected consecutively by MOHFW, GOI as an innovative model of education in their National innovation summit held at Tirupati in 2016 and at Indore 2017.

The Division has been forging strategic alliances of PHFI with states, regional and global health networks and Institutions e.g. National Disaster Management authority (NDMA), Indian Red Cross Society, International Committee for Red Cross (ICRC), PHD Chambers, FICCI, International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Association of Health Care Providers (AHPI), Quality Council of India (QCI), World Obesity Federation (WOF), National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOH), XLRI and National Health System Resource Centre (NHSRC), Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Ahmedabad, Healthcare Sector Skill Council etc.

12 State Governments have adopted these initiatives which have spread to 10 other countries across South-East Asia and Africa including Ministry of Health, Government of Rwanda. Our CCEBDM program was the 1st across the globe that got International Diabetes Federation recognition, followed by our GDM program. We also got endorsement of AOTA for our Thyroid course. SAFES also gave recognition to both our diabetes and Thyroid courses. Our course in the management of COPD & Asthma has been endorsed by International Primary Respiratory Group (IPCRG).These capacity building models have been published into Lancet, IJEM, Thyroid, IJO and Lung India. We made presentation of this unique capacity building model on various National and International Platforms and won excellence awards in Skill development by all chambers (CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM, PHD) and highest quality award i.e. DL Shah Platinum award by QCI.

Over the course of last several years, we have trained 12,000+ Govt. and 39,000+ Healthcare professionals working at PHCs, CHCs, DHs and other government health facilities in various clinical and public health domains such as diabetes, COPD & asthma, thyroid disorders, women’s health, mental health, palliative care, health care quality, patient safety and health programme management. We have closely worked with National Health Mission of the states of Kerala, Odisha, MP, Haryana, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur, Gujarat, Uttarakhand and Kolkata Municipal Corporation apart from training Health care professionals nominated from time to time from other states as well. Various PSUs such as NTPC, NHPC etc have also adopted our courses. The Govt. of Madhya Pradesh and Govt of Tripura have made PHFI their Skill Building Partner for training medical officers and other healthcare professionals of the state.

The last few months of lockdown and post lockdown have tested the health care providers worldwide, which has led us to start several new initiatives on an online platform. During this period, the Training Division has created several new capacity building initiatives through online mode. Some of these new initiatives have already been launched and the rest are going to be launched in the coming months.
