Sparsh Sanjeevani
Telemedicine clinics are nurse-assisted clinics in which the patient is assessed by a nurse who understands the problem and then connects him or her to the appropriate empanelled specialist through video call. Following the consultation, the nurse writes the prescription and dispenses the medications. The technology also allows for follow-ups. The entire service, including drugs, costs only Rs 100. The clinics are linked to labs that perform basic pathology and blood tests. Serious cases are directed to district healthcare facilities and government-run multi-specialty hospitals in districts where ‘Sparsh Sanjeevani’ Telemedicine Clinics are in existence.
The clinics are administered in collaboration with Karma Healthcare, a prominent social company in this field. The clinics that are now operating in other states have gotten an extremely favourable response from the general public, with many ailments being treated at the outset, preventing them from worsening. Health camps for cancer screening, eye exams, and general screening will be held on a regular basis.
With this effort, the Hyundai Motor India Foundation hopes to improve the nation’s health index one district and one state at a time.
