Apollo Hospitals has launched telemedicine service at Om Hospital in Kathmandu which would benefit the people of Nepal who could now consult Indian doctors for expert advice on various health problems.

The Telemedicine Consulting Centre (TCC) at Om Hospital Kathmandu would be linked to the Telemedicine Specialty Centre (TSC) at Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi. The doctors at Apollo Hospitals can view live medical images of the patient through the advanced telemedicine software as the two centers would be linked via a leased line. The telemedicine link in Kathmandu would be a huge benefit for the people of Nepal who would now be able to consult a super specialist from Apollo Hospitals, which is Asia’s largest healthcare provider, through this link ensuring quality treatment. The telemedicine linkage would reduce the need to transfer patients to a site of medical expertise and decrease in the relocation of medical specialists to the patient.

It would make health care facilities better organized and less costly and also ensure more efficient and effective use of medical and technological resources. Moreover, it would result in enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic quality of care and open up new possibilities for continuing education or training for isolated or rural health practitioners.
