New Delhi: Virohan Institute of Health and Management Sciences on Friday announced it has seen over a twice-fold rise in student enrolments during the ongoing fiscal amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The Gurgaon-based firm has received 2,600 enrolments for the current financial year as compared with 1,100 students in the year-ago session, Virohan said in a statement.

Established in 2018, the start-up caters to students of ages 18-24, providing diploma for various courses like operation theatre technician, medical lab technician, radiology technician, hospital administration, emergency medical technician, among others. The courses are affiliated with the NSDC (National Skill Development Corporation), which assures the skill development and behavioral training of the trainees.

Currently, there is a demand for 65 lakh allied healthcare practitioners in India, whereas the available workforce is 4.5 lakh. This gap is slated to widen with the expansion of Ayushman Bharat and need for mass vaccination against COVID-19. The start-up aims to bridge this gap by training allied healthcare practitioner aspirants, Virohan said.
