Key Hightlights

Sri Aurobindo University has started a telecare service in Jhabua

Jhabua is far from the large city areas. Reaching a specialist can mean long rides. That trip costs time and money. SAIMS Tele Command Centre is set up to reduce that load. Now patients in Jhabua can use teleconsultation. They can speak with specialists at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences in Indore.

For the first visit, patients do not have to travel to Indore right away. During the call, patients share what they are feeling. They can also explain their worries. The specialist reviews what is said on the call. Then the doctor decides what should happen next. Some people may be asked to get more tests.

Others may be given a care plan. In some situations, the doctor may ask for an in person visit later. For patients and their families, the value is easy to see. A specialist is reachable without hours of travel. This matters a lot for older patients. It also helps relatives who want updates and follow up at times. When leaving home is hard, day to day stress can feel smaller.

This start also points to what phone and video visits can do. A call cannot replace in person care when that is needed. Still, advice can arrive earlier. It can also help people understand what steps come next.For Sri Aurobindo University, the service extends support beyond the campus. It can reach areas outside the main city hubs too. The new Jhabua option links specialist doctors with communities that need help.

As more locations become connected through the SAIMS Tele Command Centre, the aim remains straightforward, to make expert medical advice easier to reach, one community at a time.
