As the country struggles to find even proper medical advice with exponential rise of COVID-19 cases, five Telugu doctors and IT professionals in the United States decided to do what they have been trained for — serve the needy with their expert advice. The tele-health initiative is free of cost and is available from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Indian time and Indian doctors from the USA and UK, who have enrolled for the service voluntarily will speak to the Indian callers and guide them with their medical advice in these distressing times. “Since we are working abroad and can’t write prescriptions for Indian patients we are assessing the symptoms and reviewing their treatments,” says the Atlanta based cardiologist Srini R. Gangasani, who started the eGlobalDoctors, a telehealth practice, along with four of his classmates from 1982 batch of the A.P. Residential School (Now TS Residential School) in Sarvail, Yadadri district.
