eSanjeevani OPD project opens at MCD-run Hindu Rao Hospital in Delhi

The initiative will provide specialised healthcare consultation to lakhs of patients in remote areas throughout the country Delhi LG VK Saxena inaugurated the eSanjeevani OPD project at MCD-run Hindu Rao Hospital which will provide round-the-clock medical services to patients through video conference. With the launch of the app-based National Medical teleconsultation Service under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, MCD and Hindu Rao Hospital became the first organisations to provide 24X7 medical services through the eSanjeevani platform. Saxena said that the initiative will provide specialised healthcare consultation to lakhs of patients in remote areas throughout the country. He said that the project will help patients get medical advice sitting at home, and access expert medical advice without a referral. This will lead to a reduced visit to the hospital, he said, easing especially the elderly and chronic patients. "It will not only promote easily accessible and dispersible health education to people at large but will also help doctors in access of comprehensive digital data of the patients, quick and timely follow-up and improved patient management," Saxena said. The LG expressed hope that the MCD will successfully discharge the onerous responsibility of keeping the operation going. Acknowledging the troubles faced by the hospital, he assured the staff that he would leave no stone unturned in solving them.
