Telemedicine for Bangladeshi Patients: Accessing Indian Healthcare Remotely

Discover how telemedicine is revolutionizing healthcare in Bangladesh and learn how telemedicine is shaping the future of healthcare.

Praava Health, in collaboration with Narayana Health Hospitals in India, is transforming healthcare access for Bangladeshi patients through telemedicine. This partnership enables Praava patients to consult with over 30 specialists at Narayana Health, covering various fields like cardiology, oncology, neurology, and orthopedics.

Previously, many Bangladeshi patients had to travel to India for Narayana Health treatments. Telemedicine now allows consultations before and after travel, minimizing time away from home. For those not traveling, Narayana Health's specialists are accessible via video conference at Praava Health in Dhaka. The Praava Health and Narayana Health collaboration aims to bridge the healthcare gap in Bangladesh, offering specialized medical consultations and diagnostics without extensive travel.

  • Patients can consult with over 30 specialists at Narayana Health, including cardiologists, oncologists, neurologists, and orthopedic surgeons.

Telemedicine: Bridging the Healthcare Gap in Bangladesh

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened healthcare challenges in Bangladesh, prompting the adoption of telemedicine as a crucial solution. Government restrictions and limited movement have exacerbated difficulties in accessing medical care. Telemedicine, leveraging technology for remote healthcare, emerges as a pivotal tool to address these challenges, especially in rural areas with limited healthcare facilities.

In rural regions where specialists are scarce, telemedicine enables patients to consult with doctors remotely, overcoming geographical barriers. This is particularly significant during the pandemic, as telemedicine reduces person-to-person contact, minimizing the risk of virus exposure for both patients and healthcare providers.

Fahima, a resident of a remote village, exemplifies the positive impact of telemedicine. Previously constrained by distance and lack of transportation, Fahima can now consult with doctors remotely, receive accurate diagnoses, and access follow-up care without extensive travel.

In Bangladesh, innovative telemedicine startups like Grameenphone, Pulse Healthcare, and DaktarBhai contribute to healthcare accessibility. Video call consultations, e-PHR services, and home pathology options provided by these startups not only address immediate healthcare needs but also pave the way for the future of healthcare delivery. As the healthcare infrastructure in Bangladesh evolves, telemedicine holds immense potential to improve accessibility and outcomes. By overcoming geographical barriers, providing timely consultations, and granting access to specialized services, telemedicine plays a crucial role in making healthcare accessible to all, irrespective of location or circumstances.

The Future of Telemedicine in Bangladesh

Telemedicine is changing healthcare in Bangladesh, especially in remote areas with limited access to medical facilities. With improved internet services and expanded telecommunication networks, telemedicine holds the potential to transform healthcare delivery.

Both the government and private organizations, along with innovative startups like Grameenphone, Pulse Healthcare, and DaktarBhai, are actively implementing telemedicine. These startups offer services such as video call consultations, e-PHR, and home pathology options.

Dedicated to enhancing healthcare access, these startups focus on providing convenient solutions, particularly for those in underserved areas. As technology advances and supporting infrastructure develops, telemedicine is set to become a vital part of Bangladesh's healthcare system, promising improved accessibility and better health outcomes for everyone.

অসাধারণ সার্ভিস এই ইনফরমেশন সেন্টারের,বিশেষত তাদের ব্যাবহার অনেক সুন্দর। যারা অসুস্থ থাকেন তারা সর্বদা দুশ্চিন্তায় থাকেন। সে সময় যদি কেউ হাসি মুখে পাশে থাকেন তার থেকে আনন্দের বোধকরি কিছু হয় না। apollo information centre তেমনই একটি প্রতিষ্ঠান। তাছাড়া অনলাইনে ডাক্তরদের সাথে রোগী দেখানোর সময় তারা যে ভাবে সাহায্য করেন, নিজেরা প্যানেলে থেকে ভাষাগত ভাবে হেল্প করেন, বাস্তবিক সেটা প্রশংসার দাবিদার। বিশেষত ইসরাত জাহান আপু টেলিমেডিসিন পরিসেবা গ্রহণের সময় যে ভাবে হেল্প করেন,রোগীর প্রতিটি কথা ইংরেজিতে অনুবাদ করে ডাক্তারকে বলেন,আবার ডাক্তার সাহেবের কথা বাংলায় বুঝিয়ে দেন।সেটা এক কথায় অসাধারণ।তারপর, দ্রুত রোগীদের কাছে প্রেসকিপশন পাঠানোর ব্যাবস্থা করেন।এগুলা সম্পূর্ণ আন্তরিকতার পরিচয় বহন করে। আমি এই প্রতিষ্ঠানের সমৃদ্ধি কামনা করি।
