Statement 2 is correct, while statement 1 is incorrect. eSanjeevani is a tele-medicine platform launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. It facilitates remote consultations, not physical presence of doctors at the doorstep.

– Statement 1 is incorrect because eSanjeevani is a virtual platform for telemedicine; it does not involve physical visits by doctors to patients’ homes.
– Statement 2 is correct. eSanjeevani has two variants: eSanjeevani OPD (patient-to-doctor teleconsultation) and eSanjeevani Ayushman Bharat-Health and Wellness Centre (AB-HWC) (doctor-to-doctor and health worker-to-doctor teleconsultation).

eSanjeevani aims to provide accessible and affordable healthcare services in both rural and urban areas through teleconsultations, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances to see a doctor. It has played a significant role, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
