SAKSHAM platform

SAKSHAM - Stimulating Advanced Knowledge for Sustainable Health Management, is an initiative of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India which provides all health-related training programmes to healthcare professionals of the country in digital mode.

The digital learning platform has been developed by the National Institute of Health & Family Welfare (NIHFW), New Delhi. 

Vision and Mission of SAKSHAM

Vision: To provide world class, readily accessible continued education for all healthcare professionals in the country without disrupting regular services.

Mission: To provide standard training to the healthcare staff across the horizons of public and private care subsectors, covering professionals from primary care centers located in rural and remote areas all the way up to tertiary care and corporate hospitals in metropolitan cities.

Overview of the platform

SAKSHAM is a dedicated and unified platform for providing online training and medical education to all health professionals in the country. This digital learning platform will ensure inclusive capacity building of health professionals from primary health centres located in rural and remote areas all the way up to tertiary care and corporate hospitals in metropolitan cities.

The portal will also integrate the robust training information system of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and preserve the on-site training data alongside the courses being consumed on the portal. This will enable single-window access to information on all health-related trainings happening in the country.

The portal will host theme based customized courses developed in collaboration with global healthcare agencies like WHO, UNICEF, UNDP, and reputed national/international institutes, peer reviewed and approved by domain experts from the concerned departments, open for all healthcare workers in the country.

SAKSHAM will serve as:

• A common portal for quality driven, up-to-date, globally relevant courses in the health sector.
• A central repository for training and teaching materials.
• An enabler for case-based learning in the sector.
• A central database of trained healthcare professionals of the country.
