DEHRADUN: The facility of tele-consultation with doctors of the Government Doon Medical College and Hospital, which was scheduled to start from July 25, is yet to be rolled out. Hospital authorities said that they are still in the “testing phase”.
To make healthcare more accessible to people in the remote corners of the state, medical colleges in Dehradun, Haldwani, Almora and Srinagar had announced last month that they will launch a tele-consultation facility. Over 400 primary and community health centres from all 13 Uttarakhand districts are expected to become part of this network. A command centre has been set up by the National Health Mission, for which a Hyderabad-based tech company has been roped in.
