On Wednesday, Digital Health Associates (DHA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Association of Healthcare Providers (India) (AHPI) and under this collaboration, DHA shall work as the digital health upskilling partner for AHPI and its members, the company said in a statement, 

Digital Health Associates will jointly work for internship opportunities with AHPI member organizations, and this collaboration will also entail the two organizations working on workshops, research, and publications.

India's healthcare system is struggling with various issues, from infrastructure, financing to human resources. As per the current scenario of the overall healthcare system in the country, healthcare organizations are developing in many aspects and do not have any exposure or expertise in digital healthcare, and digital health will play a major role in making healthcare accessible and outcome driven. This collaboration will play a pivotal role in leveraging the global expertise of Digital Health Associates to help organizations and clinicians develop the digital skills needed in the 21st century.

Dr Rajendra Pratap Gupta, Founder of DHA, shared, "In this digital age, every organization, and every healthcare professional needs to be technically (digitally) proficient and clinically competent, and for that, lifelong digital upskilling will be crucial and at DHA, we have emerged as the world's foremost institution. My vision is to create a million new job opportunities in India at every level in healthcare through digital health, and this collaboration with AHPI will help us achieve this vision faster."

Dr Girdhar Gyani, Director General of AHPI, said, "At AHPI, we are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Digital Health Associates as our Digital Upskilling partner. This association is timely and will add phenomenal opportunities for our members to upskill themselves on digital technologies, given the integration of Digital Health across the continuum of care."
