Project PRAKASH (Programmed Approach in Knowledge And Sensitization on Hepatitis)
There are many challenges in prevention and eradication of viral hepatitis in India. Health professionals in the country need to join hands to deliver best services for viral hepatitis, so that we could achieve the target of viral hepatitis elimination by 2030 which is also the global call for action by WHO.
Project PRAKASH aims to build capacity of primary care physicians and paramedical professionals for the management of viral hepatitis in the country. Since the inception of the program in 2018, we have successfully trained more than 500 health professionals. This training will build capacities in the existing health care delivery system through comprehensive knowledge sharing among technical experts from ILBS and health professionals in India using a common platform.
