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.

A stroke can strike anyone, anytime. Every minute matters, because each one can mean thousands of brain cells lost.

This ๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ ๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ค๐ž ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ, joins the global call to raise awareness on early recognition and timely treatment. The campaign reinforces the F.A.S.T. test to help people remember how to act when seconds count:
F โ€“ Face drooping
A โ€“ Arm weakness
S โ€“ Speech difficulty
T โ€“ Time to call for help

If you notice these signs, call emergency services right away, note the time symptoms began, and reach the nearest hospital with a stroke unit. Quick action saves lives and limits long-term damage.

Through partnerships and capacity-building, ECHO India continues to empower healthcare professionals to act F.A.S.T., respond swiftly, and deliver timely care. Because when it comes to stroke, knowledge shared is time saved.

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.
