Identifies locations to serve as nodes with ISRO help
The Jawaharlal Institute of Medical Education and Research (Jipmer) has identified possible locations to serve as nodes for rendering telemedicine consultation with ISRO support to Sabarimala pilgrims during the Mandala Pooja festival beginning mid-November.
A Jipmer team, led by its director S.C. Parija, which surveyed the terrain between Pamba and the Sannidhanam, would submit a report to the Union Health Ministry on the possible locations where telemedicine infrastructure could be provided in Sabarimala.
Locations
Among the locations identified are a hospital in Pampa, Government Cardiology Centre in Neelimala and Government Dispensary in Sannidhanam. Jipmer has already set up a telemedicine room in its emergency medicine complex to offer its consultation expertise via tele-video conferencing on round-the-clock basis during the pilgrimage season.
