| Project: | Nepal medical association (NMA), Epidemiology and disease control division (EDCD) and America Nepal Medical Foundation (ANMF) have partnered in order to start a tele-consultation service for the Home isolation covid patient. So, the people who are in home isolation they use this service to ask any questions related to their health. EDCD chief Dr. Krishna Paudel, NMA President Dr. Lochan Karki, General Secretary Dr.Badri Rijal and ANMF president Dr. Bhupendra Basnet had a meeting and planned that ANMF will support the human resources and hardware for the project, NMA will list the specialist doctors to volunteer for this project and EDCD will provide consultation required for the doctors. Nepal Telecom will also partner in waiving of the amount taken for call forwarding.
There are more than 9,000 daily covid patient in Nepal and more than 50,000 patients who have been in home isolation. The home isolated patient will need some kind of consultation regarding their health. EDCD has 25 helpline in which they receive almost 10,000 calls out of which 150-200 calls need specialist consultation. So, EDCD requested NMA and ANMF to create a call center where it would take such calls and forward it to a specialist. (The call center will be in the NMA building). The project is needed because the home isolated patient will get easy service with having difficulty to visit the hospitals and try and reach out to the specialist doctors. The tele-consultation center will entertain calls of patient who are in need of the specialist and will forward the calls to the related specialist need for the patients. The service will be a great help to patients with covid and in need of specialist consultation. |
