The Government inaugurated the portal in 2019 and till date more than 10 crore citizens have benefitted from it. This portal has been designed by the C-DAC, i.e., ‘Centre for Development of Advance Computing’. It was commissioned during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, most citizens were quarantined in their homes. This site was created so that the citizens could get doctor’s advice at home.

How to get the consultation

Prior registration is necessary to use this portal. The process for that is easy; click ‘Patient Registration’ option on the screen, type your mobile number, click on ‘send OTP’, type the OTP received on the mobile. Then after mentioning all the patient’s information, Patient ID and Token Number are received. Then go to the ‘Home Page’ and Login using the ID then ‘Call Now’ option is seen. It is possible to speak to the doctor on a video call from here. As per the symptoms, the doctor gives a prescription.
