Daman Medical Training & Research Center
The Daman Medical Training and Research Center (DMTRC) is the academic and professional development arm of the DHMIC healthcare network. It strengthens healthcare quality through structured training, research support, innovation, and community-facing education — serving as the central hub for training, research, examinations, and consultancy alongside the group's hospitals. Institutional partners collaborate through six value streams covering accreditation, simulation, research, international programmes, public health, and quality technology.
