MUMBAI, Oct 26: Nearly 65 per cent of healthcare practitioners (HCPs) in India who handle neurological cases daily are keen to expand their knowledge in neurology and improve their skills, revealed findings of a survey on Thursday.
The survey was conducted recently by MediSage, a renowned global healthcare knowledge platform for medical professionals.
According to survey, there is a huge scarcity of qualified neurologists in India, which requires strategic planning and policies to match the country’s socio-economic and cultural landscape for effective neuro-epidemiological studies.
A unanimous interest in enhancing knowledge of neurology was exhibited by nearly all survey respondents.
The survey, titled ‘Enhancing Neurological Care: Insights from Healthcare Providers’ Perspectives and Preferences’, involved 104 participants from diverse regions across India, encompassing Consulting Physicians (CPs), General Practitioners (GPs), Diabetologists, and General Surgeons.
HCPs expressed a strong desire to upskill in various neurological areas, including cerebrovascular disorders, headaches, neurodegenerative diseases, epileptic disorders, neuromuscular conditions and movement disorders, a press release said here. (UNI)
