Limited healthcare access exacerbates poverty by depriving rural families of health, productivity and incomes. Hari Chandana addressed this in her Narayanpet tenure by pioneering technology-enabled medical services named ‘T-Consult’ connecting patients from remote areas to specialists via teleconferences. #telemedicine #ruralhealth #DigitalIndia

This allowed for examination and diagnoses without travel to cities, saving time and costs. Medicines prescribed were made available at nearest PHCs. This tele-health system enabled centralized doctor pools to provide services in far-flung villages lacking infrastructure and staff. #AccessibleHealthcare #HealthEquity #HariChandana

Over 50 medical camps were organized delivering specialized care in cardiology, neurology etc to thousands of grateful citizens. Chandana also facilitated routine online OPD services and enabled PHC staff training for enhanced rural healthcare. Her innovative model reached the unreached and set an example in leveraging tech for development. #digitalhealth #techforgood #SheInspiresUs
