Indian Army Launches E-SeHAT Tele-Consultancy for Veterans

This initiative allows ECHS beneficiaries to receive online medical consultations from their homes, eliminating the need to visit ECHS Polyclinics. The E-SeHAT module offers structured, video-based consultations, aiming to enhance healthcare delivery for veterans by providing timely and quality medical care remotely.

 

The pilot phase of E-SeHAT has been initiated at 12 ECHS Polyclinics, including those in remote locations such as Baramulla, Imphal, Churachandpur, Dimapur, and Aizawal. The project has successfully conducted tele-consultations with remote beneficiaries in these areas. The full nationwide rollout of E-SeHAT is scheduled for November 2024.

 

The E-SeHAT module complies with telemedicine practice guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in consultation with NITI AAYOG in March 2020. To support this initiative, IT hardware and equipment have been distributed to all 427 ECHS Polyclinics, and staff members have received training to conduct online consultations. Future phases will incorporate pre-consultation vital checks, home delivery of medicines, and referrals to empaneled hospitals by medical officers.

E-SeHAT aligns with the Government of India’s Digital India vision, which aims to enhance digital inclusivity and efficiency in public services.

 This new module represents a significant advancement in transforming healthcare for veterans, ensuring that they can access quality medical care conveniently from their homes.
