A Historic Milestone for Allied & Healthcare Education!
The ISRT J&K Chapter extends its heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Vinod Chohan Sir and his dedicated team on the establishment of the First Government College of Allied & Healthcare Sciences at Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh. This is a landmark achievement that will strengthen healthcare education and create new opportunities for aspiring Allied Healthcare Professionals across the region.
We express our sincere gratitude to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Shri Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Ji, whose visionary leadership has made this remarkable initiative a reality. The establishment of this college reflects a strong commitment to developing a skilled healthcare workforce and enhancing the quality of patient care.
With undergraduate programmes in Radiology, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Anaesthesia, Optometry, Physiotherapy, and Dialysis Technology, the college will contribute significantly to addressing the growing demand for qualified Allied Healthcare Professionals.
This initiative should serve as a model for all States and Union Territories, including Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, to establish dedicated Colleges of Allied and Healthcare Sciences. The World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly highlighted the global shortage of Allied Health professionals and the urgent need to strengthen education and workforce capacity in this sector. Investing in Allied Healthcare education is an investment in stronger health systems, improved patient outcomes, and universal access to quality healthcare.
The ISRT J&K Chapter hopes that this pioneering step by the Government of Himachal Pradesh inspires similar initiatives across the country, ensuring that Allied Healthcare Professionals receive the recognition, education, and opportunities they deserve.
Congratulations once again to Mr. Vinod Chohan Sir, his team, and the Government of Himachal Pradesh on this remarkable achievement. Wishing the institution great success in shaping the future of healthcare education in India.
