In News: eSanjeevani, Health Ministry’s national telemedicine initiative today completed 9 lakh consultations.

    • About e-Sanjeevani 
    • It is a national telemedicine service that offers tele-consultations enabling patient to doctor consultations from the confines of their home, as well as doctor to doctor consultations. 
    • The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has launched two variants of e-Sanjeevani namely – 
      •  e-Sanjeevani AB-HWC which is meant for doctor – to – doctor tele consultations
      • e-Sanjeevani OPD which is meant for patient – to – doctor tele consultation
    • The former is being implemented under the Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centre (AB-HWCs) programme. 
    • The telemedicine platform is hosting over 40 online OPDs, more than half of these are speciality OPDs which include Gynaecology, Psychiatry, Dermatology, ENT, Ophthalmology, antiretroviral therapy (ART) for the AIDS/HIV patients, Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) etc. 
    • E-Sanjeevani OPD (out-patient department) is a telemedicine variant for the public to seek health services remotely; it was rolled out on 13th of April 2020 during the first lockdown in the country.
    • It enables virtual meetings between the patients and doctors & specialists from geographically dispersed locations, through video conferencing that occurs in real-time.
    • At the end of these remote consultations, eSanjeevani generates electronic prescriptions which can be used for sourcing medicines.
    • Andhra Pradesh was the first state to roll out e-Sanjeevani AB-HWC services in November 2019.
    • At present, e-Sanjeev ani OPD is hosting 27 general OPDs and 190 super speciality and specialty OPD. So far e-Sanjeevani OPD has been rolled out by 27 States and UTs.
