Madurai
Meenakshi Mission Hospital & Research Centre (MMHRC) became the first healthcare institution in India to deploy advanced tele-health technology to mitigate pathogenic contamination. The hospital acquired 16 Teladoc Health Vita robots when the COVID-19 pandemic was raging and a close contact between doctors and patients was not advisable.
According to the hospital chairman S. Gurushankar, who virtually briefed the media on Tuesday, the installation helped to examine 40,000 in and outpatients during the critical months when the hospital with 250 dedicated beds fell short of hands treating Coronavirus infection. Over 3,500 people who tested COVID-positive were admitted and the robots acted as an effective force multiplier for the hospital and improved the health outcomes, he said.
