Healthcare Challenges
YoloHealth was able to able to aptly identify the challenges faced by the locals of Arunachal Pradesh in terms primary healthcare services. Quality medical services were not accessible by people staying in rural and remote areas. The Primary Health Centers (PHCs) were also ill-equipped in terms of infrastructure facilities, and there was a constant unavailability and shortage of Specialist Doctors.
People had cover a long distance to reach labs and hospitals for carrying out diagnostic tests to know about their health condition. The tests performed at those labs are also quiet expensive, increasing burden on residents to bear cost of travelling as well as medical services and tests. Also, a lot of time is wasted in waiting for the test reports.
Transformative Action
In order to build a strong primary and preventive healthcare system across the state, Arunachal Pradesh Govt. had taken a significant step in healthcare delivery. In Jul 2022, 42 Advance HealthATMs were installed in the state, redefining medical accessibility.
The deployment of 42 units of innovative health kiosks at all existing and new Primary Health Centers (PHCs) represents a significant enhancement of healthcare accessibility and service delivery. By integrating these advanced health kiosks into PHC facilities, individuals gain access to instant diagnostics and online doctor consultation through telemedicine, thereby overcoming geographical barriers and improving healthcare outcomes.
