Govt plans to integrate telemedicine services under single window

Live Mint  

The Central government plans to integrate its telemedicine services to provide more options under a single window. The plan involves integrating the e-Sanjeevani telemedicine platform with the Unified Health Interface, one of the components of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, according to a letter written by the National Health Authority, the agency responsible for implementing the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Patients can identify and book appointments with telemedicine doctors, get consultations free of cost, do not have to take the hard copy of the prescription anywhere and store all their health records on one platform. Till 31 January, e-Sanjeevani has created 3.4 million Ayushman Bharat Health Account health IDs and linked 4.5 million records across all states and Union territories, said the letter. The e-Sanjeevani platform consists of two modules: e-Sanjeevani OPD for facilitating doctor-to-patient consultations remotely and e-Sanjeevani AB-HWC to connect health and wellness centres with specialist doctors for better healthcare accessibility in remote areas.
