Health is wealth, we all grew up reading this in books and
listening to this slogan time and again but how many of us actually ponder on
this thought and take time to keep ourselves fit and fine? We all are so busy
that we forget about our health until some deadly disease knocks us down.
The changing lifestyle
and the work pressures have made us very vulnerable to all kinds of diseases.
The entire world is working for fighting these diseases and India is also fast
realizing the threats and making every effort to provide the best of health
facilities. With the help of technology such as video conferencing we can
actually gear up for providing a healing touch to many interior regions.
Expanding the
horizons
People in India have suffered many setbacks due to poor
health facilities and the apathy of the officials towards proper hygiene and
sanitation. Though the government has made many efforts in this regard by
providing healthcare centers at all the major places, but we need to
incorporate a better approach towards reaching the interior regions which are
still waiting for treatment and medicines. It’s time to expand our horizons and
give the rural areas the gift of tele-medicine so that more lives can be saved.
Collaborating
research and development in the field of medicine
India has produced many world renowned doctors and
scientists who are working day and night to come up with the cure of the
deadliest of diseases. The research in medicine can scale new heights with the
joint efforts of the national and international community. The video conference
software gives our doctors a chance to collaborate better with their
counterparts sitting in other countries and come out with the best results.
Connecting the
unreachable places to a central location with the help of video conferencing
The interior regions are still suffering due to the unavailability
of the medical facilities and they have to travel long distances to get
treatment. Some of the villages have got health care centers but there are no
doctors. To handle this situation the government needs to install the video
conferencing software to connect the patients to a central location where the
doctors are available. This can help the helpless people get proper treatment
without travelling long distances.
Free health
facilities for the poor
Though the government has revised the health which promises
to give free health facilities to all and free medicines to the people below the
poverty line but these facilities sometimes don’t reach the people and many
suffer due to lack of medicines. So it is very important to monitor whether the
medicines are reaching the people in need or whether the doctors are doing
their duties impartially. The healthcare system in India suffers a lot due to
political interference so we need to keep a check. The video conferencing can
create a network of officials to monitor all the efforts put in by the
government towards health care.
Expert advice at hand
Sometimes the major surgeries don’t succeed as the expert
surgeons are not available in time. The senior surgeon is always invited for
giving their expert advice in carrying on the major operations, especially in
cases of open-heart surgeries and neuro-surgeries. It is important to connect
with the best people in the field through the best communication system where
the surgeon can demonstrate what to do and he can have a better view of the
patient to give advice. Video conferencing software has given a new approach to
the doctors to carry on with the major surgeries with the help of tele-presence
of the expert.
There is no doubt that video conferencing can change the
healthcare scenario in India in a better way, giving a healing touch to
millions of people in the form of timely treatment.
