Telemedicine is a
healthcare initiative that allows the transmission of services including
diagnosis and consultation remotely. Doctors and physicians from larger towns
or medical institutions can connect to the health care centers or hospitals in
the remote areas through a networked environment that makes patient data
available online through interactive audio and video facilities. The initiative
aims at bringing the latest developments in medicine to the remote villages and
towns in India.
To promote welfare and
wellbeing of Seema Praharies, which is the main focus during the BSF Golden
Jubilee Celebrations in 2015. BSF STS camp has conducted several medical health
