Telemedicine is composed of the Greek word (tele) meaning 'far', and medicine. It is therefore the delivery of medicine at a distance. A more extensive definition is that it is the use of modern telecommunication and information technologies for the provision of clinical care to individuals located at a distance and to the transmission of information to provide healthcare services.
Apollo is a pioneer in the field of telemedicine and is credited with being the first to setup a Rural Telemedicine centre in 1999. Apollo has worked with multiple entities to spread the concept of Telemedicine, this includes the central and the state governments, medical bodies, private sector, public sector and others.
Today Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad has set up over 8 telemedicine centers across Rajasthan, Gujarat & Madhya Pradesh. Our aim is to take super specialty healthcare to the medically underprivileged population of Western India. Our consultants have provided over 200 tele-consultations in various medical fraternities. Several tele-CMEs and management programs have also been organized for the doctors serving with Public Healthcare Centres.
