- National Teleconsultation Service of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is first of its kind online OPD service offered by a country government to its citizens. National Teleconsultation Service aims to provide healthcare services to patients in their homes. Safe & structured video based clinical consultations between a doctor in a hospital and a patient in the confines of his home are being enabled.
- eSanjeevani – a doctor to patient telemedicine system has been deployed nationally for the Miinistry of Health & Family Welfare under Ayushman Bharat Scheme of Government of India.
- The scheme is particularly useful during times of pandemic Coivd-19 as it helps people avoid going out to consult a doctor or visit a hospital. Through eSanjeevani OPD, anyone can seek medical advice and medication through audio and video.
- With the introduction of this service, people living in the remotest areas will also be able to get their health related consultation.
