Hyderabad: Move to integrate all government health centres
When people move from one health centre to another, a lot of time is wasted in commute as availability or unavailability of doctor or facilities at the centres is not known
Hyderabad: After successfully implementing the telemedicine project 'TConsult' across several districts, the Telangana Information Technology Association (TITA) is now gearing up to increase the scope of TConsult by integrating the sub-centres, primary health centres and community health centres. This will provide access to e-Doctor and digital health records for all patients at all levels of health centres.
TITA Global President Sundeep Kumar Makthala said a pilot will be launched in Aler Mandal in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district in the first week of July.
"District collector Anita Ramachandran and MLA Gongidi Sunitha are supporting the integration of health centres. The public healthcare system is a multi-tiered one with sub- centres being the first point of contact.
These are manned by ANMs. One such centre caters to about 5000 population. The next one is a primary health centres and this is manned by an MBBS doctors.
These are equipped to handle deliveries as well. Next in the hierarchy are community health centres and on top of that is district hospital," he added.
When people move from one health centres to another, a lot of time is wasted in commute and the availability or unavailability of doctor or facilities at the visiting health centre is not known.
Telemedicine integration is a boon which will allow the doctors to give appointments as per availability.
