Telemedicine & Indian Healthcare

Recently, there have been several telemedicine initiatives and the Indian government has also been promoting telemedicine.

For instance, the AI-driven free mobile telemedicine clinic ‘Doctor on Wheels’, attended to nearly 13,000 patients in the Udhampur-Kathua-Doda Lok Sabha constituency of Jammu and Kashmir.

Union Minister for Science and Technology, Dr Jitendra Singh, highlighted the significance of this novel experiment, utilizing cutting-edge technology tools to provide efficient and cost-free healthcare services to the residents of these far-flung areas.

This initiative represents a leap in healthcare delivery, leveraging the latest technology to screen and investigate patients efficiently.
