As such, rather than treating patients at the emergency point, wellbeing concerns ought to be tended to before they become crises. Enactments like ‘Moderate Health Care Act’ and the worldwide need to improve human services conveyance by lessening medical clinic stays and readmissions are rethinking the social insurance conveyance model.

UNDP designed and implemented an information technology system which actually gives you the real-time information of vaccine logistics and temperature of the cold chain management.

The system was known to have been addressing us with some major queries and luckily we lived up to their expectation in sorts that the pilot project which we implemented successfully in just 3 states; post their completion we were advised by Ministry of health and family welfare to implement it in 9 other states as well. It was success in other states as well because we stated getting information of real-time vaccine logistics as well as temperature of the cold chain system. Considering it to be a very quiet system, later on this has led us to expand this system across country; we have completed this process in 22 states with touching upon approximately 13000 cold-chain points.”

This move, from a market point of view, requires all players to discover fresher and better approaches to distinguish and use cooperative energies.

Traditionally we have done brick and mortar services in healthcare when it comes to developing superspeciality hospitals, medical colleges so on and so forth. But as technology has evolved and role of IT has gone up; so we haven’t just embraced the technology, but are also racing ahead with it. We have also recently concluded an ambulance tender in UP. It was a mammoth task and as you all know that it’s the biggest state in India and so they are scaling up their ambulance services from 1488 in number to 2200 ambulance, in order to ensure that their response time is 15 minutes max. The tender layed great emphasis on its IT aspect.

Another initiative which we have taken on grounds of IT, is the telemedicine concept. We have also introduced teleradiology as a concept in UP and all this is a clear depiction of how healthcare has changed overtime Gone are the days when you visited bureaucrats and explained them the shortages of doctors. The next level seems to involving a high level of AI into the whole mechanism.”

This whole process of running emergency ambulance service with the help if IT is a great enabler as it helps to optimize the resources and also helps in improving accessibility. If you see the ecosystem of the ambulance services running, there are primarily 3 facets to it; one is the patient who calls, the other is the ambulance or fleet and the last is the centralized call centre that manages and coordinates the whole activity.”
