ECHO India is a non-profit trust that was founded in 2008 with a mission to promote equity in healthcare and education. The organization achieves this goal by providing capacity building programs for healthcare professionals and educators. ECHO India's innovative 'Hub and Spoke' Model of learning involves a team of experts serving as the hub, mentoring and training the spokes, who are a cohort of learners This approach is facilitated through a cutting edge digital infrastructure that enables scalable and sustainable capacity building in a cost-effective manner. ECHO India aims to impact the lives of 400 million people in India by the end of 2025. To achieve this goal, in collaboration with our partners, we have launched over 400 hubs and implemented 1000 capacity-building programs that cover more than 30 disease areas. These programs have witnessed over a million attendances from healthcare workers and educators across the country, with remarkable results. The ECHO Model's 'All Teach All Learn' framework has been proven effective and has been validated by over 500 peer-reviewed articles published in renowned national and international journals, such as The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. ECHO India has joined forces with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and 29 state National Health Missions (NHMs), municipal corporations, nursing councils, and esteemed medical institutions across India. Some of our leading institutional partners include AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health & Neurological Sciences), NITRD (National Institute for Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases), NICPR (National Institute of Cancer Prevention & Research), Tata Memorial Hospital, and PGIMER (Post Graduate Institute for Medical Education & Research). By collaborating with these entities, ECHO India is making significant strides towards strengthening the country's healthcare system.

Globally, around 6,30,000 people lost their lives to HIV related causes in 2024 (WHO). It is not just a number. It is an entire community of families, friendships, dreams and futures that could have been protected with timely care, awareness and access to treatment.

The world speaks often about AIDS, yet the quiet battles continue every day. Behind every statistic is a person who hoped to live longer and a family that hoped to hold on. These numbers remind us that compassion, cooperation and shared responsibility are not optional. They are essential.

This World AIDS Day, we at stand with the theme โ€œOvercoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response.โ€ We remain deeply grateful to our partners whose commitment strengthens the path forward. When healthcare workers are supported with knowledge and confidence, they carry that strength to every patient and every community they serve.

India carries one of the worldโ€™s heaviest infectious disease burdens, leading to an inherent dependence on antimicrobials. However, it is the misuse and overuse of these life-saving medicines that is now giving birth to the crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

With antibiotics themselves becoming a cause for concern, routine infections now risk turning into life-threatening emergencies. The time to evaluate and act is now.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) doesnโ€™t just spread through microbes, it spreads through misinformation.

Every time an antibiotic is taken unnecessarily, it gives bacteria another chance to learn how to resist. When patients are informed, and healthcare professionals lead by example, we strengthen the collective fight against resistance.

Our Story

Project ECHOยฎ (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 worldโ€™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 ECHOยฎ 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.
