What is eSanjeevani?
eSanjeevani is a national free telemedicine service that strives to provide an alternative to conventional physical consultations via the digital platform.
eSanjeevani allows for both ‘doctor-to-doctor’ and ‘patient-to-doctor’ teleconsultation.

– It allows for real-time virtual consultations between doctors and specialists at the hub and the beneficiary (via paramedics) at the spoke.
– The e-prescription generated at the conclusion of the session is used to obtain medications.
Significance: eSanjeevani is currently operational in approximately 50,000 health and wellness centres across the country.
– More than 57% of e-Sanjeevani beneficiaries are women, with only about 12% being senior citizens.
