FREE BLOG HBI Awards 2018: Franchised training to bridge staff shortages

India suffers from a dearth of skilled technicians and nurses for dialysis, making recruitment difficult and expensive. To counter this, NephroPlus created an in-house training academy for dialysis technicians. Eligible candidates are offered a guaranteed job, but students are also qualified to work as a dialysis technician outside of NephroPlus. To meet high demand, NephroPlus has franchised its training academy with seven currently operational and a further eight to open in 2018. With the ability to meet increased demand, it has also developed an optimal staff mix ratio to eradicate wasted spending.
