To facilitate tele-education and tele-consultation for better healthcare, the Union government will connect all government medical colleges on the National Knowledge Network by next year. Under the National Medical College Network plan, all the 158 government medical colleges will be connected with six regional resource centres. According to deputy commissioner, e-health, Union health ministry, Dr Navneet Kumar Dhamija, initial work will be completed in the next six months. “The project will be completed by next one year.”

Dr Dhamija said that the government has already set up a few tertiary care academic institutes in different regions of the country, known as Medical Knowledge Resource Centres. “Each of which will be connected to medical colleges (nodal centre) in that region,” he added.

The New Delhi AIIMS has been designated as the regional resource centre for central India for the project. Other regional resource centres are PGI Chandigarh, SGPGIMS Lucknow, KEM Mumbai, JIPMER Puducherry and NEIGRIHM Shillong.

A workshop was organised for the representatives of the regional centres at the AIIMS on Friday on the sidelines of the “Endo-Surg 2015,” an initiative to update surgery processes. The event was held at AIIMS and was inaugurated by the director of the institution, Dr M.C. Misra. During three-day Endo-Surg, 40 live surgeries will be shown to surgeons and students. Today, Dr Mishra’s laparoscopic surgery “adrnealectomy” for pheochrmocytoma was shown live to participating delegates.

The government is planning to use tele-medicine to provide clinical healthcare in far flung rural areas of country. Dr Dhamija said, adding that once the project is completed over 2.5 lakh villages will benefit through the tele-medicine network. NMCN at Lucknow is headed by Dr S K Mishra, head department of endocrine surgery at SGPGIMS.

The AIIMS already is providing telemedicine facilities to 53 nations in Africa. Additional professor of surgery Dr Subodh Kumar said the attempt is to bring more and more colleges under the centres.
