The e‑Sanjeevani portal now offers a Telemedicine OPD where users can type their symptoms and receive medical advice from qualified doctors without leaving home.
The Ministry of Health’s e‑Sanjeevani platform has introduced a dedicated Telemedicine OPD. Patients can log onto the portal, enter details of their health concerns and submit the information for review. Qualified physicians access these submissions and provide personalized medical advice through the same digital interface.
This service is designed to extend primary care to remote and underserved areas, reducing the need for physical visits to crowded clinics. By leveraging video calls, chat and e‑prescriptions, the portal aims to streamline diagnosis and follow‑up while maintaining patient confidentiality.
The rollout follows a broader push to digitise healthcare delivery across India, encouraging citizens to use online tools for routine consultations. Users are advised to keep their medical records handy and ensure a stable internet connection for optimal interaction with doctors.
