How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • e-Sanjeevani is India's National Telemedicine Service that provides remote teleconsultation between patients and doctors.
  • Telemedicine helps extend healthcare access to rural and remote areas.
  • e-Sanjeevani is a teleconsultation platform, unlike CoWIN (vaccination registration) or ABHA (health identity).

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS2 Governance (Health): Digital health platforms like e-Sanjeevani address the shortage of doctors and access gaps in rural and remote areas by delivering care remotely. The implication is wider reach and lower out-of-pocket cost, but the digital divide, connectivity and patient data privacy remain constraints. The way forward is better rural digital infrastructure, linkage with health IDs and records, and training of health workers.
