Health Ministry’s telemedicine
service eSanjeevani completes 7 lakh consultations
Recent Trend of over 10,000 Patient-Doctor Consultations per day helped reach
the Last
1 lakh figure in 11 days

eSanjeevani, the national telemedicine service set up by
the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has completed 7
lakh consultations today. The last one lakh consultations have come up in 11
days. This novel digital modality to deliver OPD services virtually has been
rapidly gaining popularity. With over 10,000 consultations being recorded on
eSanjeevani per day, it is shaping into the largest OPD services set up in the
country.
An innovative intervention to deliver health services,
eSanjeevani has started making impact in smaller towns and rural areas. While
telemedicine is beneficial for the patients, it also is favourable for the
doctors practicing telemedicine as it limits the contact with patients who are
present virtually. eSanjeevani has removed the requirement of doctor to be at a
specific location to provide services, it enables States specially the ones
with large geographical area, to better management of their human resources.
Through eSanjeevani, patients desirous of seeking medical consultations are
placed in a virtual queue and upon their turn can see a doctor who is available
virtually but present in another city. Each online OPD consultation generates
an ePrescription which can be used to buy medicines or go for diagnostic
investigations. States like Kerala and Tamil Nadu have already issued
government orders to ensure that ePrescriptions are honored.
Utilisation of eSanjeevani in States like Madhya Pradesh,
eSanjeevani supports two types of online consultation with
general physicians and medical specialists, these are Doctor-to-Doctor
(eSanjeevani AB-HWC) and Patient-to-Doctor (eSanjeevani OPD)
Tele-consultations. The former variant was rolled out in November 2019 and it
is an important pillar of the Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centre
(AB-HWCs) programme. eSanjeevani (AB-HWC) is to be implemented in all the 1.5
lakh Health and Wellness Centres in a 'Hub and Spoke' model, by December 2022.
States need to set up dedicated 'Hubs' in
