Who is an allied health care professional?

  • The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has recommended the following
    definition: “Allied healthcare professionals (AHPs) includes individuals involved with the delivery of health or healthcare related services, with qualifications and competence in therapeutic, diagnostic, curative, preventive and/ or rehabilitative interventions. They work in multidisciplinary health teams in varied healthcare settings including doctors, nurses, and public health officials to promote, protect, treat and/or manage a person(‘s) physical, mental, social, emotional, environmental health, and holistic well-being. The scope of allied health practice extends to the individual, the family and to the community.
  •  MLCU became the first university in Northeast India to have a full-fledged
    department of allied health sciences when it established the Department of
    AHS in 2006. It has provided paramedical professionals for government and
    private hospitals and faculty members for several teaching institutions.
    The department of AHS follows the model curriculum developed by the Ministry
    of Health and Family Welfare. Practical training of MLCU students is conducted
    at leading hospitals in Shillong and internship postings are arranged at leading
    private and mission hospitals all over India. In this university the number of hours to become an allied health professional and healthcare professional according to the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021 is complied. Allied health workers are an untapped treasure, critical to bridging the gap in India’s health workforce, particularly the severe shortage of physicians and specialists.
