Hyundai Motor India Foundation’s Sparsh Sanjeevani public healthcare initiative was envisaged to boost India’s healthcare services in remote villages, by reaching the hinterland and making primary healthcare accessible to the underserved communities. Telemedicine Centres are nurse assisted healthcare facilities where patients are connected through video call with specialist doctors, providing professional consultation in remote areas. Post consultation, each patient is provided with medicines by the on-ground health practitioners. This service is provided at a nominal charge of Rs 100 per patient. The model also allows follow-up consultations.
