Specialists, surgeons and doctors running OPDs can be consulted through this facility. Nodal officers have been appointed at all medical colleges to manage the initiative.
Officials said that tele-consultations will take place throughout the day and will come in handy for pre-medications, primary diagnosis, prescription delivery, post-op consultation etc.
When the pandemic began, hospitals had started tele-consultations, but they claim that it hasnt been done on such a wide scale in the state earlier and is an entirely new set-up. They hope to get the entire project off the ground by August end.
Uttarakhand will become the 14th state to start this facility.
