ECHO India

Project ECHO® is a movement to demonopolize knowledge & amplify capacity to provide best practice specialty care & reduce health disparities for underserved people. The heart of the ECHO model™ is its hub-and-spoke knowledge sharing networks, led by expert teams who use multi-point video conferencing to conduct virtual clinics & empower primary care doctors, nurses & clinicians to provide specialty care to patients in their own community. Project ECHO is currently followed in 21 countries with 112 hubs to treat over 55 diseases.
