 Projects
 

  
 

Jivan Nirmaya Pradarshan
   

 
 The first project was implemented on Jivan Nirmaya Pradarshan on 1st of May 1998 for a period of 15 days. More than 550 patient's data was transferred from Rajkot and Gandhinagar to Ahmedabad through telephone lines.

The telemedicine system was installed at Bhuj Military hospital and Ahmedabad Military hospital on 20th December, 1999. The System works on telephone line and works reliably.


 

Indian Defense Service 

   

In December 1999, we had installed Telemedicine System in the desert areas of Kutch, i.e. Military Hospital, Bhuj, which was connected with the receiving unit at the Main Military Hospital at Ahmedabad and they transfer data and images for the different purposes. We transmitted data of several patients. This was later extended to Air Force Hospital at Gandhinagar. Government of Gujarat funded this pilot project. Indian Defense forces have  received it very well and there are all indications that they would like to extend the services to the entire country.

 

Earthquake in Gujarat 

   

After the earthquake disaster in Gujarat on 26th January 2001, thousands of people lost their lives and over 1,00,000 were injured. On the very next day, i.e. 27th January 2001, we had established our first communication system from Bhuj. Within next 4 days we established Disaster Management System along with telemedicine transmission from Rapar, Bhachau, Gandhidham, Anjar and Ahmedabad with the control room at Gandhinagar. Through this system, we could transfer important information, data, medical needs etc with videoconferencing.

 

Rehabilitation Project for The Earthquake Victims

   
After the fury of Earthquake was over the challenge was to begin health provisions for the earthquake victims since the basic infrastructure of health providers were shattered. The area required basic and transitional healthcare units before the permanent arrangements could be  made. During this long -term project, the total healthcare period was 3 to 6 months. It was followed by physiotherapy and rehabilitation. We placed 45 centers to provide healthcare from the transitional bases at Anjar, Rapar, Bhuj, Gandhidham,  Bhachau, Rental etc. However the long term planning is to establish such centers in Kutch District to perpetually provide modern medical treatment cheaply and quickly.
