The telemedicine project to be undertaken in a PPP mode in collaboration with the State Government and Sanjay Gandhi Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), Lucknow, envisages establishment of telemedicine centres in at least 51,000 villages covering whole of Orissa in the next three years. The facilities would generate emplyment for at least a lakh health workers and unemployed youth.
The project would involve imparting training and skills in the area of IT-based application in health delivery and providing assistance to set up and run village telemedicine centre.
The same model could be expanded to the urban areas involving unemployed urban youth and women, particularly belonging to BPL families.
To further the initiative, a workshop on ‘IT - an instrument for transformation with employment opportunity and soci-economic development’ was organised here. Chief Secretary AK Tripathy inaugurated the workshop which saw presentations by nodal officer of Telemedicine of SGPGI Prof SK Mishra.
