service, eSanjeevani, completes 5 lakh tele-consultations

eSanjeevani, Ministry of Health’s telemedicine initiative, is rapidly
gaining popularity amongst patients and doctors. It has recorded 5 lakh
teleconsultations in a short span of time. The last one lakh consultations were
completed in a record time of 17 days. As a digital modality of healthcare
services delivery, eSanjeevani is gradually shaping into a parallel stream for
the Indian healthcare delivery system with the number of teleconsultations per
day on the platform touching 8,000 mark in the last few days. At present 26
States are using eSanjeevani’s two variants of telemedicine namely - doctor to
doctor (eSanjeevaniAB-HWC) and patient to doctor (eSanjeevaniOPD).
eSanjeevani AB-HWC was launched by Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare in November 2019 and it is to be implemented at 1,55,000 Health and
Wellness Centres in conjunction with identified
The second variant of this ambitious initiative, eSanjeevaniOPD which
has the potential of being the world’s largest telemedicine platform, was
rolled out on 13th of April
2020 during the first lockdown when the OPDs across the country were
closed. eSanjeevaniOPD enables access to OPD services by the patients in
the confines of their homes. eSanjeevaniOPD has been accepted evenly by both
the patients and the doctors. Over 100 telemedicine practitioners have
completed more than 1,000 tele-consultations and a few of them have logged over
10,000 consultations. On the other hand, over 20% patients have used
eSanjeevani to consult with doctors for more than once.
Rapid adoption of eSanjeevaniOPD across the country has taken a
significant step forward with the launch of a wide range of speciality and
super-speciality OPDs. Besides general and speciality OPDs, AIIMS Bathinda has
set up super-specialty OPDs like radiation oncology, surgical oncology,
paediatric surgery; these super-speciality OPDs providing online OPD services
to patients in all neighbouring states including Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh
& Himachal Pradesh. Tamil Nadu government is providing AYUSH, Yoga and
Naturopathy OPD services through eSanjeevaniOPD.
The Union Health Ministry is complementing efforts of State Governments
by establishing a robust digital health ecosystem and human and infrastructural
resources to boost the adoption of eSanjeevani. The Ministry has roped in
Centre for Development of Advanced Computing’s Mohali branch for providing
end-to-end technical services like development, implementation, operations and
training of health personnel.
The top ten States which have registered highest
consultations through eSanjeevani and eSanjeevaniOPD platforms are Tamil Nadu
(169977), Uttar Pradesh (134992), Himachal Pradesh (39326), Kerala (39300),
Andhra Pradesh (31365), Uttarakhand (16442), Madhya Pradesh (14965), Gujarat
(10839), Karnataka (9498),
