To make world class healthcare available
to traditionally under privileged rural based population in India separated by long
distances. Telemedicine can enhance citizen's equality in the availability of various
medical services and clinical health care, despite these economic and geographic
barriers.
- Save the time in case of emergencies by both providers and patients in traveling
from one geographic location to another to avail services on time.
- Reduce costs of medical care. The ever-rising cost of healthcare is becoming a
prime concern. The incidental expenses related to patient care, i.e. the cost associated
with factors other than the actual medial care such as travel, accommodation for
relatives, food etc also contribute substantially to the overall cost of treatment.
In a country where health insurance is yet to catch up, all these are borne by patients,
in many cases by selling property and livestock. If hospitals can reduce these costs
associated with treatment, it would go a long way in reducing the burden of care
on the patient. Telemedicine seems to be the answer.
