Now you will get treatment from expert doctors of the country sitting at home, Sadar Hospital is going to become Jharkhand’s biggest digital health hub.

A historic revolution is going to happen in the health sector of Ranchi. If you are also troubled by long trips to hospitals and standing in queues for small and big diseases, then now you are going to get freedom from this hassle forever. Sadar Hospital of Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, is soon going to become the largest and modern ‘Digital Health Hub’ of the entire state. After the launch of this ambitious project, patients will neither have to pay huge fees nor have to travel to other states to get consultation from renowned doctors and specialists of the country and the world. All treatment facilities will be available at one click while sitting at home.

The new hub will be equipped with state-of-the-art telemedicine and e-Sanjeevani services

As soon as this digital health hub comes on the ground, both the face and character of Ranchi Sadar Hospital will completely change. The hospital management is preparing to fully equip it with state-of-the-art telemedicine services, e-Sanjeevani OPD and digital health record system. Under this, a central digital control room will be established in the hospital, which will be directly connected to big medical institutions and super-specialty hospitals of different states of the country. The biggest benefit from this system will be to those patients living in rural and remote areas, who are not able to go to big cities for treatment of serious diseases. They will now be able to get world class medical consultation locally.

Facility from digital slip to online report under one roof

After the creation of a digital health hub, patients will not have to wait in queues from getting prescriptions to getting test reports. The entire system is being made paperless and completely online. Patients will be able to book their slots through smartphones and will be provided with a unique digital health ID. With the help of this ID, the entire medical history of the patient will be safe, which will make it easier for the doctor to understand chronic diseases and start accurate treatment. Apart from this, pathology and radiology test reports will also be sent in digital form directly to the patient’s mobile and to the concerned doctor’s computer screen, which will save huge time.

Virtual service of super specialty doctors will be available for serious diseases

In this new form of Sadar Hospital, special virtual clinics will be run for serious diseases like heart disease, neurology, cancer and kidney. Complete arrangements are being made to connect the patients of the state directly to the doctors of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and other top medical centers through video conferencing. The team of local doctors along with these experts will do live monitoring of the patients. Health department officials believe that this digital initiative will prove to be a milestone in the medical history of Jharkhand and will not only reduce the cost of treatment drastically, but will also save the lives of serious patients by getting the right treatment on time.
