Virohan & Mahajan join forces for student placements
Virohan has partnered with Mahajan Imaging & Labs to provide placement opportunities for students in India's healthcare industry.
The collaboration is designed to bridge the educational gap by offering students practical experience with advanced AI-powered medical imaging and diagnostics. Mahajan's expansive network includes leading medical centres, such as Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, PSRI Hospital, and Fortis Hospitals, allowing students to learn hands-on alongside industry experts.
Nalin Saluja, Co-Founder and CTO of Virohan, said, "We're excited to partner with Mahajan Imaging & Labs. Their extensive network will provide our students with real-world exposure to advanced diagnostic technologies." He emphasised that the partnership aims to equip students with the confidence and practical knowledge necessary for today's fast-evolving healthcare sector in India.
The initiative aligns with Virohan's mission to tackle the skills gap by preparing students as Allied Health Professionals, ensuring they are ready to contribute effectively upon entering the workforce. This approach seeks to address the growing demand for healthcare professionals in the country.
Kabir Mahajan, COO of Mahajan Imaging & Labs, commented, "Our collaboration with Virohan represents a significant step toward strengthening India's healthcare workforce. By providing students with hands-on training, we are not only supporting their professional growth but also contributing to improved patient care across the nation." He highlighted that the partnership supports their plans to expand their network across North India.
Mahajan Imaging & Labs, with over 35 years of healthcare experience, operates across multiple centres and labs, partnering with renowned hospitals in the region. This collaboration will extend its state-of-the-art technology and expertise to aspiring healthcare professionals from Virohan.
India's healthcare sector is currently expanding by 22% annually, yet there remains a significant shortage of 5.8 million Allied Health Professionals, crucial to the workforce. This partnership seeks to address such shortages by preparing the next generation to fill these critical roles.
With over 2,000 employer partners, Virohan continues to foster industry ties beneficial to its students. This is a vital step in its efforts to address the workforce gap in allied healthcare, promote employment, and enhance patient care standards.
