The “e Sanjeevani” telemedicine service has registered 1 million tele-consultations
India has crossed a milestone in its eHealth journey. The Sanjeevani telemedicine service of the Ministry of Health today crossed 1 million (10 lakhs) tele-consultations. Telemedicine is required to deliver health services remotely using the Internet and this will not only expand health services but also improve the quality of health services. Time and money. The development of Isanjivani in India is one of the first in the digital transformation of the developing country in providing health services at the national level. During the COVID-19 epidemic, eSanjeevani not only brought about a massive digital transformation in the delivery of health services, but also enhanced the digital health ecosystem in the country.
The Sanjeevani initiative of the Ministry of Health is working in two streams in 28 States and Union Territories. ESanjeevaniAB-HWC allows physician teleconsultations to physician and is used in approximately 6000 health and care centers, providing specialists and physicians in 240 hubs set up by states in district hospitals or medical colleges. 20,000 paramedics, physicians and specialists have been trained to use eSanjeevaniAB-HWC. The second stream is eSanjeevaniOPD or providing remote health services to patients within their home confines. eSanjeevaniOPD allows non-contact, risk-free and secure consultation between a physician and a patient. It received a huge reception by patients and doctors. Approximately 8000 physicians are trained and onboard in esophageal OPD and on average approximately 1500 physicians practice telemedicine in 225 online opioids daily, of which 190 are specialized OPDs and 30 are generalized OPDs. Lately, Daily e Sanjeevani has been serving 14,000 patients across the country.
E Sanjeevani is used by patients in more than 550 districts of India. More than 10% of lifeless consumers are 60 and older. A quarter of all patients used the ischemia more than once. This is a testament to the fact that people are beginning to prefer telemedicine rather than visiting hospital OPDs to consult a doctor.
