The West Bengal Government has taken all possible measures to ensure well being of the people in the state with special focus and care for underprivileged section of the society. In line with its unwavering commitment to provide affordable, accessible, sustainable and high quality healthcare service delivery up to grass root level the State Government has launched “Swasthya Ingit”.

The Initiative envisages implementing Telemedicine Services at all Susasthya Kendras (SKs) of the State and developing them in “Decentralised e-Clinics”. By doing so “quality healthcare” would be more “accessible” to the villagers and the services of “Specialist Doctors” could also be made available at the grass root level through Telemedicine. Amid COVID pandemic it will not only promote early diagnosis of the COVID but would further strengthen efforts to combat COVID in terms of active Surveillance, Screening, Isolation and Timely treatment of the COVID affected people. Apart from Quality, Accessible and Inclusive Healthcare in Rural Bengal it would also help in reduction of out-of-pocket expenditure of villagers; facilitate easy follow ups; early diagnosis of the disease and timely medical intervention.
