The Punjab government has decided to launch a telemedicine pilot project in Lahore.
A meeting was chaired by Punjab Minister for Health and Population Khawaja Imran Nazir, during which a deadline of December 15 was set for starting the pilot project.
During the briefing, it was stated that in case the internet service is disrupted, the call will switch to a phone helpline. On this occasion, Khawaja Imran Nazir said that the public will be able to avail specialist doctors’ services from home.
BHUs, including RHCs and Clinic on Wheels, will also be linked with telemedicine.
