SAATH - TELEMEDICINE SERVICE

An initiative by Sewa International

Sewa International is a not-for-profit organization that began in 1993 by members of our diasporic community in the U.K. as a movement to reach out to victims of the Latur earthquake. By 1997, a base had been set up in New Delhi to be in the front lines in times of disasters, calamities, and other emergencies.

Sewa International has now spread its wings in 20+ states in India and 25+ countries. We strive to be the first responders in case of any emergencies in the remotest regions of India.

We have successful projects up and running in the fields of education, sanitization, and hygiene, rehabilitation, healthcare, etc.

BACKGROUND

The initiative is hinged on three key pillars:

Access: Ensure access to an inclusive telemedicine solution across different sections of society. with a free telemedicine solution.

Awareness: Build awareness on telemedicine as a rapidly growing public health solution.

Acceptance: Accelerate the acceptance of telemedicine with a high-end technology interface and empathic medical consultations.

Objective

With SAATH we aim to solve non-critical medical issues for a vast amount of people throughout the geography of India. There is a lack of Public Health Centres and other medical facilities in most of the remote areas. Even in the urban parts, visiting the doctor for minute health problems can be highly time taking and expensive. Consuming medicines without a prescription or without consulting a doctor can prove to be harmful to the patients. SAATH will help to eliminate these problems by making instant medical services available to patients at the tip of their fingers with certified doctors and nutritionists which will be completely free of cost.
