Since there is an acute shortage of
doctors in India - particularly in villages, smaller towns, and disturbed zones
- the government is developing a 'National Telemedicine Network' to set up their own telemedicine initiatives. It is also
trying to meet the challenges armed with digital technology, said Anupriya
Patel, minister of state for health and family welfare, speaking at Mail
Today's Healthcare Conclave.
Through these, primary healthcare centres
and community and district hospitals are going to be linked with medical
colleges, super-specialty and tertiary care hospitals for tele-consulation and
tele-followup services through the specialists.
This way, the government is trying to
bridge the gap in availability of doctors. At pilgrimage centres, the ministry
has also started telemedicine facilities for visitors to access emergency
healthcare through satellite technology. These facilities are now available at
Ayyappa temple in Kerala, Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi and Vidhyanchal
temple in Mirzapur.
