Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel launched a new initiative aimed at providing medical facilities through telemedicine even in remote villages.
The “Doctor Tumcho Dwaar” was initiated at a programme held in Bedma village in Bastar regions Kondagaon district.
At present, the pilot project aims to provide the medical facilities in Baderajpur and Farasgaon development blocks where accessibility is a challenge.
A dedicated 24-hour call centre will be established to provide comprehensive Health support.
When a call is received, a team of doctors, ANMs and other staff members will be alerted. Doctors will offer tele-consultations and guidance, engaging in discussions with patients and their families regarding their health concerns.
In case of critically ill patients who require immediate treatment, doctors and their teams will visit their homes in a well-equipped vehicle to provide necessary medical care.
The Chief Minister’s Haat Bazaar Clinic scheme, designed to offer healthcare Services in remote areas, is also being successfully implemented in the district.
With the latest scheme’s success, it will be expanded to other development blocks as well.
