eSanjeevani OPD platform of Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare has completed 3 lakh tele-consultations. This
landmark milestone has been achieved within a short period of six months since
its launch.
eSanjeevani OPD services have enabled
patient-to-doctor telemedicine in midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has
helped in containing the spread of COVID by ensuring physical distancing and
has simultaneously enabled provisions for non-COVID essential healthcare. The
number of high tele-consultations is a testimony of its popularity among the
citizens.
With 1,29,801 digital interactions, Tamil
Nadu has held the largest number of tele-consultations so far. Tamil Nadu had
been a pioneer in the field registering 32,035 OPD consultations by 9th August
and 56,346 consultations by the 19th of the same month. The State had registered
nearly one lakh consultations (97,204) by 8th September. The platform had
provided essential healthcare to the State, one of the worst affected by
COVID-19, at a critical time when conventional medicine was perceived to be
risky owing to the nature of the infectious disease.
Tami Nadu is followed by Uttar Pradesh
(96,151 consultations), Kerala (32,921 consultations) and Uttarakhand (10,391
consultations). These four States account for 2,69,264 tele-consultations
(89.75% of total consultations).
With on boarding of Gujarat and UT of
Jammu and Kashmir on eSanjeevaniOPD and Chhattisgarh on eSanjeevani (AB-HWC)
the total no. of States and UTs using eSanjeevani has gone up to 26. Around
4,600 doctors have been trained on eSanjeevaniOPD and on an average over 6000
consultations / day are recorded in eSanjeevani’s national network.
The aspect that makes eSanjeevani
telemedicine platform special is that the Operations and Management of the
platform has been organised in a very methodological manner. A close and an
efficient connect is maintained between the States and the implementing agency
(C-DAC Mohali). This enables quick feedback from the users which helps the
implementing team to make quick optimisations. Accordingly, eSanjeevani is not
only consistently increasing with respect to its efficiency / productivity but
it is also getting enriched with newer functionalities and features as required
by the users in the States.
eSanjeevani platform has enabled two types of telemedicine services
viz. Doctor-to-Doctor (eSanjeevani) and Patient-to-Doctor (eSanjeevani OPD)
Tele-consultations. The former is being implemented through Ayushman Bharat
Health and Wellness Centre (AB-HWC). It aims to implement tele-consultation in
all 1.5 lakh HWCs in conjunction with identified
Health Ministry rolled out the second
tele-consultation service ‘eSanjeevani OPD’ enabling patient-to-doctor
telemedicine owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020. This has proved a
boon in containing the spread of COVID while simultaneously enabling provisions
for non-COVID essential healthcare.
