GE Healthcare understands the healthcare industry is ever evolving, and it strives to make healthcare accessible and affordable through development of disruptive, low-cost technologies and healthcare delivery systems.

The challenge to efficient delivery of good-quality healthcare is the absence of skilled and well-trained Healthcare Professionals (HCPs). The availability of such HCPs is worryingly low and the demand is persistently rising. Since the healthcare requirements in emerging economies tend to be life-critical, it is imperative that the issue be resolved at the earliest. With the vision to improve access to quality and affordable health around the world, GE Healthcare’s training wing, the GE Healthcare Institute, works with governments, clinicians, private operators and NGOs to deliver valuable training and up-skilling solutions aimed at improving outcomes for health systems and patients.

R2T believes that all children should have access to the best possible education. Research shows that the most important factor for improving learning is the quality of teaching, which is more important than class size, classroom resources or the design of textbooks.

Apart from running an intensive Education & Community programme in 230 government schools in Gujarat, R2T is significantly expanding its India footprint in the areas of:

• Government Teacher Transformation: training, coaching, and providing peer support platforms for teachers, and bringing scale and sustainability through training government trainers and coaches/CRCs
