I find [ECHO to be] a very powerful model for capacity building, especially in the country where I come from: where we have few health care workers, very few specialists. I find it such a great, feasible model that can actually be applied even in resource-constrained settings.”

Because of the previous system [in South Africa], there are still a lot of disparities and inequities. We adopted ECHO because we needed an innovative solution to help address these disparities: where we could diagnose the patient early, and we could train doctors and nurses in the periphery.”

Director, Cancer ECHO Program

In one of the states [in India], the general population previously had zero access to address their mental health issues. Doctors who have been trained [through ECHO] are now writing prescriptions [for easily treated conditions] and referring patients to specialists.”

Co-Founder and Chairman, ECHO India

A rural health care worker can’t travel to the capital to attend a training on new guidelines. It would usually be years before new information or best practices made it to them. Now, with ECHO, that learning happens really fast.”
