Manipal Hospital opens Consumer Telemedicine Clinic in Visakhapatnam

On 15 July 2024, Manipal Hospitals unveiled a new Consumer Telemedicine (CTV) clinic in Visakhapatnam, marking the first of its kind in the city.

The clinic will offer remote diagnostic tests, specialist consultations, and follow‑up care for patients, aiming to reduce travel time and improve access to tertiary services.

Health officials predict that the service will relieve pressure on local hospitals and provide a model for other districts such as Udupi, where telehealth initiatives are being pursued. Source: Google News – Manipal.
