Among many recourses, inadequacy of trained human resource like Nurses was greatly experienced along with other medical personnel.Thus rising skill gap has emerged to be one of the key barriers in healthcare sector. Skill gap in healthcare is very high across various health workforce categories in India. The burden of rising healthcare costs and rapidly increasing population has further widened this gap, making it difficult for country to equate healthcare needs with existing means and trained personnel. Thus, there is increasing need for training ‘Health care Givers’ for aged persons mainly in cities where parents are left alone to mend for themselves.
