Indian staffing firm Quess Corp announced it signed an agreement with the Association of Healthcare Providers to provide training and staffing services for healthcare professionals.

Quess Corp stated that the agreement aims to create a pipeline of trained paramedical and healthcare service professionals through a proposed hire-train-deploy model, besides building a digital pool of highly skilled, experienced, ready-to-hire doctors across India.

In addition to creating an organised demand and supply support service for healthcare manpower such as nurses, paramedics, doctors, phlebotomists, and lab technicians, the collaboration will also enable corporates to set up safer workspaces with adequate medical facilities and to train candidates with endorsements from reputed domestic and international accreditations, the company added.

Quess Corp and AHPI plan to jointly work towards industry advocacy in critical areas of staffing and healthcare manpower management.

“The healthcare industry in India has witnessed increasing staffing demands since the advent of the pandemic,” Quess Corp stated. “There are nearly 600 investment opportunities worth USD 32 billion in the hospitality or medical infrastructure sub-sector on Indian Investment Grid.”

Quess Corp Chief Operating Officer-India Region, Guruprasad Srinivasan said, “We look forward to effectively bridging the talent gap and challenges in the Indian healthcare infrastructure, which was largely brought to the fore during the pandemic.”

Quess Corp also announced separately that Comtel Solutions, a subsidiary of Quess Corp, has now become Quess Singapore and will operate as fully owned Singaore entity. Quess Corp acquired Singapore-based Comtel Solutions, a technology staffing company, in 2017.
