Reaching out our courses. Successes. Challenges. New approaches

By Vasumathi Sriganesh | Founder

 Hello! 

We hope you are staying safe and taking all precautions in the challenging times. Just as we were hoping that we would steadilhy move towards a no-Covid state in the coming months, a fresh wave has struck. In our city of Mumbai we have had a big load. We hope that we move towards good days soon. 

We have had success stories and challenges. Just recently a small institution - AO Health Care Services, which is part of the Apollo Hospitals - a well known chain in India, has taken access to our online ourses. And we await payment from another medical school and a dental school. We hope these two join us this month. When they do, we will have five educational institutions registered. Wtih three smaller institutions and a bunch of individuals, we have around 2600 people onboard. That is a good number in less than one year. And yet, we just cannot rest till we reach out to the hundreds of medical schools, dental schools and more in the country! 

But with the surge in Covid cases, the educational institutions have not been able to prioritise going through our proposals and have to fight other battles - should they have online classes or real time classes; should they have students staying on campus or send them home - and more. 

So while we continue to approach institutions, we are also working on spreading awareness of our courses via "Google Ads". As a registered and vetted not for profit, we have the privilege of having "Ad Grants" - by which Google allows us to advertise at no cost! We have worked on specific pages of our website, and will soon launch advertisements, by which we hope lots more individuals will view the ads and join us. We also have a couple of volunteers who have offered to help in this activity. 

If you can think of how we could do a great job with Google Ads, do consider helping us out. You will need to 

a) Tell us what keywords YOU would use to find QMed.

b) Go through the following pages in our website - the Home page, the About us page and the Donate page and let us know if we could make suitable changes in these. (We are also working on the Courses page and the Resources page - making some major changes) 

And while we work towards self-sustenance via our courses, since there are "unavoidable Covid-based delays", do consider helping us in one or more ways 

  • Give us a monthly recurring donation
  • Give us single donations at intervals that suit you. Better still give during the Bonus Days that GG holds
  • Spread the word about us - get some friends to give. Do consider creating a Fundraiser

Our total need is around $6500 every month. And we currently need at least half of that to be raised through donors. Till our courses sustain us better.

Once again - Stay safe and let us all wish for a healthy world soon.
