Francisco, and Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai have
signed an MoU to study possibilities of cooperation in medical
services and training.
In the initial phases Teleconferencing Programmes developed by
Stanford will provide Jaslok doctors with top class education on "hot
topics" to in turn offer best therapeutic options to Indian patients.
There would also be opportunities to participate interactively with
Stanford presenting and attending faculties. This could be expanded in
later phases with visitations by Jaslok doctors to hospitals and
clinics at Stanford and its affiliate hospitals in the US.
"I firmly believe that Jaslok Hospital's multi-specialty doctors will
benefit greatly by educational engagement with world renowned faculty
from one of US top Ivy league institutions like Stanford Medical
Centre," Dr. Mukesh Hariawala, Boston based Indian American Cardiac
Surgeon, told the sources.
"At Jaslok, we plan to establish a 'Centre for Excellence' in cutting
edge medical technologies like Angiogenesis and Stem Cells for
Cardiovascular Diseases. Receiving guidance from Stanford would be key
to successful execution," Hariawala who leads Jaslok's International
Partnerships Development Programme said.
Leading the Stanford team will be Dr. Yann Meunier, Director of
Business Development, Stanford International Medical Services, who
will oversee the complete development of the teleconferencing series
of lectures.
"We are delighted with this educational partnership with India's
Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre. The best renowned Stanford
faculty will be included in the Programmes," Meunier said.
"We have developed teleconferencing series to which Jaslok Hospital
will participate such as Cardiovascular Diseases, the Aging Patient
and many more."
"We also look forward to strengthening the long term relationships
with Jaslok Hospital with newer joint programmes in the future which
can be shared across different platforms to other participating Asian
country partners," he said.
Hariawala will be the official conduit to collate monthly feedback
from all participants at Jaslok and convey to Stanford management for
future content and programme development with suggestions that would
be of greater value to Jaslok doctors.
The initial projects will be related to cardiovascular medicine and
geriatric or age related medicine and its associated diseases.
The first teleconference session is planned for May. Initially a
monthly event it may be expanded to bi-monthly in the second phase at
the time of MoU's renewal after 18 months. IANS
