For the first time in its history, Himalayan Hospital (a constituent unit of Swami Rama Himalayan University) has started delivering its telemedcine services, an initiative wherein medical facility is available at the doorstep of the patients. The said facility is available w.e.f. 21st May 2020 in association with Moxie Labs Private Limited, Ghaziabad.
This facility is useful for people residing in remote areas who have difficulty commuting from faraway places especially during this lockdown period due to CORONA pandemic.
In this telemedicine service, the user can avail consultation with the doctors of Himalayan Hospital as per scheduled appointment at their doorstep if he/she has a smartphone, computer or laptop and internet connectivity by downloading Himsanjeevani app. This app can be downloaded through Google Play, Safari or through its web version.
In this telemedicine service, the patient can approach doctors of Himalayan Hospital, in specified fields, just a call away. Further, if any test is required, the patient can get it done from the labs available in the vicinity of their residential area and upload their report online to the concerned doctor at Himalayan Hospital and take advice accordingly.
This facility is also useful for patients who have visited the hospital once and require a follow up at a later stage. Such patients need not come to the hospital again. In this way, their treatment will be dispensed in a befitting manner at their residence itself which will save time and expenses on their commuting.
Presently, doctors in the areas of Medicine, Pediatrics, Cardiology, Neurology, Cancer and Ophthalmology will deliver their services through telemedicine. The provision of telemedicine services will be expanded to Emergency and other departments as well with the passage of time.
One telemedicine centre is already functional at Toli, the birthplace of our Rev. Guru, H.H. Swami Rama. More telemedicine centres are likely to open soon at Kotdwar, Mussoorie and Haridwar.
