This network link between centres will not only help students for their academics, but it will also help the public, since professionals sitting at AIISH campus here can operate equipment of the 10 centres and provide tele-rehabilitation and tele-diagnosis services to people.
Keshav Desiraju said unfortunately, there are only a few institutes like AIISH in the country. The network link to remote centres is an excellent concept and this linkage facility should be upgraded with more intensity for better quality of work. All the institutions should recognize its benefits, he said.
Meanwhile, Union additional director general of health services, B D Athani said students in remote areas can enjoy network link facility. In the years to come, it will play a significant role in the field of telemedicine. "We have shortage of manpower but a concept like this signifies the success of science. Hence, more concepts like this should come up to train health care professions to provide better health service to people," he stated.
The 10 remote centres of AIISH include RML in New Delhi, AIIPMR in Mumbai, CSMMU in Lucknow and others. AIISH director Dr Savithri was present.
