With a very high number of COVID patients
recovering every single day,
With the increase in daily recoveries, the Recovery Rate has also sustained its upward trend. It currently is positioned at 82.14% today.
As
The Recoveries are more than 5 times Active Cases.
The recovered cases (48,49,584) exceed the active cases (9,60,969) by nearly 39
lakh (38,88,615).
This has also ensured that the active
caseload accounts for merely 16.28% of
the total positive cases. This has sustained on its steady declining path.
Following the national lead, 24 States/UTs are also reporting higher number of new recoveries than the new cases.
10 States/UTs account for nearly 73% of the New Recovered cases.
These sustained encouraging results have
been made possible with the Centre-led proactive and calibrated strategy of
TEST TRACK TREAT with a sharp focus on ‘Chase the Virus” approach. States/UTs
have effectively identified positive cases at an early stage through high &
aggressive levels of countrywide testing. This has been supplemented with
prompt surveillance & tracking to identify the contacts to curb spread of
the infection.
The Centre has issued Standard of Care
protocol to ensure uniform and high quality medical care for those in
home/facility isolation and hospitals. These have been upgraded periodically
drawing from the emerging global and national evidences. The Union Government
is supporting the efforts of the States/UTs through technical, financial,
material and other resources.

Nationally eSanjeevani platform is being used by 26 States
and over 12,000 practitioners of various State Government health departments
have been on-boarded on eSanjeevani and their services have been sought by
people from 510 districts of the country.
The last 100,000 consultations have come up in 18 days,
whereas the first 100,000 consultations had taken around three months.
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.
Around 20% patients have sought health services through
eSanjeevani more than once. The trend is indicative of the fact that this
digital platform for delivery of health services remotely has been
adopted by both the service providers as well as the users. Few States have
been providing health services for 12 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Initially, eSanjeevaniOPD was rolled out as an online
platform for general OPD service, but considering its utility and the uptake by
the public, State Health Departments wished to rolled-out speciality OPDs as
well. Accordingly, eSanjeevaniOPD was enhanced to support multiple concurrent speciality
and super speciality OPDs as well. Today eSanjeevaniOPD is running 196 online
OPDs which include 27 general OPDs and 169 speciality and super-speciality OPDs
in 24 States. Premier institutions like AIIMS Bathinda, AIIMS Rishikesh, AIIMS
Bibinagar,
States have also designed innovative applications of this
telemedicine platform. In Kerala, eSanjeevani platform is being used for
providing health services to the inmates of Palakkad District Jail. In Tamil
Nadu, eSanjeevani has enabled practitioners to make life-saving interventions
while providing patients in their homes.
eSanjeevani platform of the Union Health Ministry has been
developed by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing in Mohali. It is an
innovative digital platform globally to be set up by a country government for
delivering health services. eSanjeevani supports two types of telemedicine
services viz. Doctor-to-Doctor (eSanjeevani) and Patient-to-Doctor (eSanjeevani
OPD) Tele-consultations. The former is an important pillar of the Ayushman
Bharat Health and Wellness Centre (AB-HWCs) programme. This was rolled out in
November 2019. It aims to implement tele-consultation in all the 1.5 lakh
Health and Wellness Centres in a 'Hub and Spoke' model, by December 2022.
States need to identify and set up dedicated 'Hubs' in
