Telemedicine facility in Sishu Bhawan (Cuttack) soon
Sishu Bhawan, Cuttack's premier pediatric hospital, is going to launch telemedicine facility soon. This will improve the healthcare facilities in rural areas of the state. Currently, the telemedicine facility is available only at SCB medical college and hospital. The nodal officer Odisha Telemedicine Network, Dr. B N Mohanty confirmed, "We have plans to inaugurate the telemedicine facility by next month at Sishu Bhawan." The target is to complete the project within a year from now, though it was announced a year back. As most doctors in the districts refer the patients to Sishu Bhawan for follow-up treatment or even minor problems, therefore an extension of such telemedicine facility in the centre would cater to the medical needs of a large number of people.
