What Visitors Say about CAHOCON
"CAHOCON 2019 was a comprehensive amalgamation of various healthcare industry experts which brought awareness, insights and inputs into the field of healthcare quality. It provided a platform to beginners as well as established professionals to gain a deeper understanding into industry standards as well as provide them with newer implementation tactics. Overall it imparted a rich plethora of knowledge and opportunities to all the esteemed attendees."
"CAHOCON 2019 was one of the few international conferences organized in this part of world which had focused discussions, deliberations and presentations from eminent masters of subject on healthcare quality and participations from all spheres of society. The context of the conference “Healthcare Quality Should Impact Outcome” has left all the delegates and faculties with the thought to look for new process models, approach and strategies, to implement and practice quality, so that effective measured outcomes can be achieved."
"I have been associated with CAHO since three years. The annual conference opens up new vistas in Connecting, Assimilating, Healthy and happy organisations (CAHO). The vast knowledge we earn from attending these events- Preconference workshops, plenary sessions, Laboratory sessions opens up new dimension in improving our quality of health care delivery and improvises our creativity. The planned events are around the topics which are not taught in our medical school but are important for managing and delivering Quality patient care. The panel discussions are way to unwind our inhibitions and limitations. I have made it a point to attend all the conferences /CME in forthcoming years and strongly recommend to all health care providers to attend."
"CAHOCON 2019- left me with warm memories of opening my Mumbai, Maharashtra to a great organization “CAHO”, which will surely conquer many other countries in the coming years. Looking forward for CAHOCON- 2020 to touch more such towns and becoming a global phenomenon!!"
"It was truly one of the better conferences I have attended. The topics discussed covered the entire spectrum - impact for the Healthcare providers and consumers. And the diversity of speakers was something that's not always seen in many conferences. I am certain everybody who attended CAHOCON 2019 would have had at least some sessions which would have benefited them personally and professionally. A truly great gathering of the medical field."
"CAHOCON Mumbai was my first association with CAHO. The process of selection was very clear and the evaluation system fair. The session with Arnab Goswami and Ms. Sonali Bendre chaired by Dr.Narottam Puri was contrasting as fire & ice. The redoubtable Arnab was at his best as “India already knows” and Ms. SonaliBendre related her personal journey linked with healthcare, from the eye of the common person. Dr.Puri was charming. The entire ambience and process was in itself a display of panicle of quality."
“CAHOCON is an excellent knowledge sharing and benchmarking platform. As an outsider to the healthcare community, I learned much from the presentations, on the Sunday morning of the conference. I believe the lessons learned can be adapted for business management. Particularly, with respect to safety and housekeeping. In addition, I was impressed by the mega attendance for the conference on a Sunday! Congratulations.”
"CAHOCON 2019 was a great conference that provided excellent opportunities to network with industry leaders, I am so eagerly looking forward to attend the 2020 conference at Kochi"
"CAHOCON 2019-held in Mumbai was an outstanding success. Over 40 internationally acclaimed speakers and 600 plus delegates from all over the globe participated in this unique event. The preconference workshops were also attended by a record number of participants. The message of quality beyond accreditation was reinforced by eminent guest speakers. Congratulations to team Maharashtra for an impactful event which will be remembered for years to come!"
"CAHOCON has already become a BRAND by itself. Mumbai edition consolidated it further. The quality professionals identify themselves with CAHO and I called them as true foot soldiers in my address, who have assumed ownership of quality in healthcare. CAHOCON organising team deserve commendation who took the event as if it was marriage function in family. Above all selfless and inspiring leadership of Dr Vijay Agarwal was so evident at every level. Organising team of Dr Alex, Dr Patankar, Dr Aparna Jairam and Dr Lallu Joseph have set benchmark which will be challenge for KOCHI team."
“CAHOCON was a transformative journey. The vibrant atmosphere, thought-provoking debates, and cutting-edge expo showcased the dedication to revolutionizing healthcare. Grateful for the experience and learning gained.”
