Forty-one government medical institutions will be interlinked to create a national task force on telemedicine to address the problem of scarcity of doctors in rural India.
As per instruction issued by the Central Government a “national medical college network” will be created and interlinked to enhance the technical education skills and provide outreach services or tertiary care services to peripheral health facilities.
Navneet Kumar Dhamija, deputy commissioner, e-health, Health Ministry said: “Telemedicine centres will be established in medical colleges, which will also facilitate online consultation.’’
AIIMS additional professor, surgery, Dr. Subodh Kumar, who is part of the project said that several lakh villages will be benefit from the venture.
“This will fulfil the gap that has prevailed in remote areas due to the absence of doctors,’’ he said.
