Abstract

Telemedicine is becoming an important tool in today’s modern clinical practice. With the help of advanced network facilities, low cost gazettes and smart phones, practice of telemedicine is possible even at places having minimum available infrastructure. Health care centres with advanced facilities may not be available for poor patients living in remote areas. Use of advanced technology by medical person in remote areas can provide the same quality of medical care as given to urban population. Organisation of ‘tele camps’ is an initiative taken by our department to provide facilities of a tertiary care centre in remote areas. We found it as an easy, effective and relatively low cost modality. As telemedicine is actively being practised in our department, once the patients are enrolled in the digital data base of the camp they can contact any time by using our telemedicine facilities without actually waiting for next camp.
