Government-free telemedicine service, eSanjeevani has crossed another milestone by clocking eight crore teleconsultations.

About e-Sanjeevani OPD:

The e-Sanjeevani OPD is a flagship telemedicine platform of the Government, developed by the Centre for Development of Advance Computing (C-DAC), Mohali under the aegis of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
It provides free consultations to Indian citizens and is functioning extremely well.
However, due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, the demand for doctors is up while the supply has reduced as doctors are being pulled out for COVID ward duties.
This is where the defence veterans are stepping in to help.
