Manipur: 'E-SeHAT' services launched in Imphal to enhance healthcare accessibility for ex-servicemen

The ‘E-SeHAT’ platform aimed at transforming healthcare accessibility for ex-servicemen and their families was launched as part of the '100 Days Agenda' of the Government of India, at the Polyclinic, Imphal on July 30. 

The initiative was launched in the presence of Maj Gen Manoj Natarajan, SC, VSM, Managing Director, Ex-Servicemen Contributary Health Scheme (ECHS). 

The event has been coordinated by Station HQs, Leimakhong Military Station. The station commander along with serving and retired officers, and soldiers were present on the occasion.

The implementation of ‘E-SeHAT’ in the ECHS is set to revolutionise the way healthcare is accessed and delivered to veterans, ensuring that they receive timely and quality medical attention from the comfort of their homes. 

The platform aligns with the Digital India vision of the Government of India, in promoting digital inclusivity and efficiency in public services.

During the next phase, pre-consultation check of vitals and home delivery of medicines has been planned including the last mile connectivity wherein the medicines will be delivered at the doorsteps of the beneficiaries, the most important issue highlighted by the ex-servicemen community. 

Referral to hospitals by medical officers is scheduled to be implemented by August 20, 2024.
