The ‘Services e-Health Assistance and Teleconsultation (SeHAT)’ initiative is a teleconsultation service launched specifically for the armed forces personnel, veterans, and their families. Given its focus on the ‘Services’ (armed forces), the responsible ministry is the Ministry of Defence.
The SeHAT initiative is a telemedicine service aimed at providing healthcare consultations to the armed forces community.
The SeHAT platform aims to provide convenient and accessible healthcare advice by connecting patients with doctors via tele-mode, reducing the need for physical travel, especially beneficial for those in remote areas or with mobility issues. It is part of the broader digital health initiatives in India.
