The impact of COVID across the globe has been significant. The disease has led to immense suffering and loss of human lives. India has been amongst the worst affected countries, but in recent months the virus has largely been brought under control. The credit for this goes to the superior medical infrastructure, state-of-the-art hospitals and the efforts put in by well-qualified doctors and healthcare personnel. Medanta hospitalis counted amongst the best hospitals in the country and comprises advanced medical equipment and technology which has helped it to deal effectively with the COVID crisis.
Medanta has successfully embraced technology to provide good healthcare to patients. The hospital ensures high hygiene standards. It has been adhering to a strict set of SOPs which have played a crucial role in preventing the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections. Since its inception, Medanta has placed special emphasis on adopting and upgrading technology. This proved beneficial during the pandemic as it made it possible for the hospital’s healthcare staff to work from home and perform their duties without any interruptions.
Telemedicine’s role during the COVID crisis has been exemplary. As part of its continuous upgradation of medical infrastructure, Medanta hospital made investments in an Integrated Telemedicine Solution app. This highly-beneficial and advanced app is a human-machine interface, and along with patients also caters to doctors and the staff. The app is available on desktop, tables and mobile phones. The patients need not personally visit the hospital but can book an appointment and also consult doctors through the app. Depending on their diagnosis, the patients are prescribed medicines or treatment. The payment system is convenient and accepts all forms of payment like debit cards, credit cards, net banking and even digital wallets. This technology has reduced the risk of the spread of Coronavirus because patients do not have to step out of their homes for consultation with a doctor.
During the pandemic, the state governments had initiated a policy of home isolation. Since hospitals were receiving hundreds of patients on a daily basis, this policy helped lessen the burden on them. To provide their patients with the best medical attention during these tough times, Medanta began care packages for Coronavirus diseases. This has helped the caregivers and nurses to provide remote monitoring and video consults. During the pandemic the patients were provided with contactless treatment and consultation without compromising the quality.
