Module 1: (00:00:00-00:09:30) Dr Sachin Malhotra, CEO TC4A welcome all the participants and panelist. Dr Malhotra, introduced all the panelists and shared a short description about MLH. During the session, Dr Malhotra asked several questions to the stakeholders from different fields in healthcare and made the whole conference very interactive and interesting.
Module 2: (00:09:31- 00:22:15) Mr Naresh Hasija, Mylan VP, mentioned they were strong believer of face-to-face meetings, but due to pandemic and the shift to online/ digitalization make them realize that with online system they can connect with many people at the same time, Due to digitalization administrators, key holders, product users all can be connected, decisions can be made faster, cross fertilization became easy. They were able to launch many public health programs due to digitalization. He took this as a blessing.
Module 3: (00:22:17-00:36:08) Dr Jayalal, President IMA National, mentioned during the start of pandemic initially it was tough to accept, due to connectivity issues or adaptability to new platform, but now everyone is very friendly to use of technology. Now so many platforms are available which are really helping to promote the education. Due to digitalization, they were able to connect with rural areas, which helped the students to learn from the experts from bigger institute like AIIMS and elevate their knowledge. Dr Jayalal also mentioned hybrid model will help in future.
Module 4: (00:36:10-00:51:32) Dr Vinita Malhotra Jha, VP Max hospital, mentioned they have benefitted a lot from online platform, at the start of pandemic it was tough for consulting patients online. But slowly all of them adapted the digital platforms to consult patients and to share knowledge. She also mentioned now doctors are getting time to develop content to deliver lecture. Online platforms have also helped to connect in person. The challenge now is that it will not be as easy as the start of pandemic, because lots of content is available but to share it has to be fancier and more attractive. But now it’s easy to make comprehensive online courses.
Module 5: (00:01:10- 01:14:10) Dr Ashok Rai is very happy with use of digital platforms, as due to pandemic doctors were suffering a lot and they wanted to promote the education to save the lives of doctors. Initial days of pandemic being president IMA UP he faced many challenges, he wanted to promote IPC, COVID education, establishment of HCP and discussion with government about faculties. The online platforms helped them a lot.
He appreciated MLH a lot and also mentioned they have used this platform to promote the trainings to doctors which served their purpose and saved the lives of many doctors.
Module 6: (01:14:30-01:35:21) Puneet Rai, from Ethicon mentioned they were concerned for patients’ health with the start of pandemic. They were focused for upscaling the learnings with new technology and educate the surgeons of tier 2/tier3 cities to treat the patients with high end cases. As travel was not allowed during the 1st wave, the patients cannot move to metro for treatment, so the doctors from rural areas have to treat the severe cases. They also found that doctors were looking for online live surgical cases rather than webinar. Working with MLH helped them increase their reach to surgeons from tier 2/tier 3 cities. He also mentioned trainers are now getting time to develop content because the travel and logistic time is save. Mr Puneet looks forward to hybrid model of education for minimum next 5 years
Module 7: (01:35:30-01:55:50) Dr A.K. Singh started his session by, “Necessity is mother of invention”. He supported digitalization of education, which was much needed during pandemic to educate the students to treat COVID. He also mentioned the challenges about online platform such as hands on training can’t be provided and medical education needs hand holding, students cannot be monitored if they are concentrating on the lecture etc. But he supported the online platforms which has helped during pandemic to share knowledge.
