To develop a cadre of trainers to train doctors, nurses, and paramedics National Emergency Life Support (NELS) courses for doctors, nurses & paramedics were launched by Dr. Bharati Pravin Pawer Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare. The program’s objective is to provide a training curriculum & modules for the NELS course working in emergency departments of hospitals & ambulance services in all states/UTs.
The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us all of how important health workers are in alleviating pain and saving lives. Without skilled and professional health personnel, no country, hospital, or clinic can keep its people safe. The epidemic has also brought attention to the need for health personnel and skilled workers in maintaining a functional society.
Today, the National Health Mission is working to improve government-run pre-hospital and hospital-based emergency services. Prime Minister has always emphasized to providing residents with affordable and high-quality health care. However, India’s accident and emergency services have made inconsistent development.
Health-care professionals in the country were forced to rely on foreign modules and paid courses that were not only expensive, but also limited in scope to a few emergencies without taking into account the requirements and priorities of our community. As a result, in support of the Prime Minister’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Amenabar Bharat’ policies, the NELS delivers standardized curriculum that is based on the Indian context and developed in India,,” Union Minister of State said in a statement.
“To keep pace with technology improvements, parallel efforts are needed for human resource development by equipping doctors, nurses, and paramedics working in emergency departments of hospitals,” Dr. Bharati Pravin Pawer continued. To reduce mortality due to all forms of medical emergencies in the country, the training should also be given to individuals delivering pre-hospital treatment with standardized life-saving abilities.”
The Minister of State (HFW) has asked states to submit proposals for establishing NELS Skill Centers at their medical schools, and has urged all Skill Centers to ensure that trainings are not only operationalized, but also used to the fullest extent possible to improve the quality of emergency care services in the state. She also asked the Disaster Management Cell to communicate with partner institutions on a regular basis and monitor their operations to ensure the initiative’s success.
