Abstract

India has committed to developing a road map for achieving a resilient health system, with digital health playing an important role. The purpose of this study is to explore the Government initiatives on telemedicine service’s contribution to the development of quality of care and the well-being of the citizens. Administration and political will, authoritative help, satisfactory subsidizing, proper innovations, dynamic and designated correspondence methodologies, cooperative methodology, and mindfulness age among individuals to make them e-proficient are all expected for long haul supportability and execution of telemedicine administrations. The future of medicine will become increasingly digital and recognising the importance of digital technology in this field and pandemic preparedness planning has become critical. To sum up, in the future Indian Government is likely to increase the allocation of finance on healthcare, availability of manpower throughout the country, eLiterate among individuals, protection of data and availability of insurance to be strengthened to mitigate the country’s future healthcare crisis.
