Our Story

Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) was founded by Dr. Sanjeev Arora in New Mexico in 2003 as a model to deliver and extend equitable healthcare and other critical resources to the world’s most vulnerable populations. Following its success, the ECHO model was then launched in India in 2008.

Today, ECHO India is a fast-growing non-profit organization working towards bridging gaps in healthcare & education with backing by funders such as Co-Impact, Tata Trusts, Goradia Foundation among many others.

Leveraging our knowledge-sharing platform within the framework of the ECHO principles, our goal is to replicate and support Project ECHO® programs in India with an aim to demonopolize knowledge and amplify capacity.

As on date, ECHO India has 30+ prestigious academic institutions as partners running ECHO programs in 20+ focus areas in more than 55 cities across the country.
