This ATM is a machine that through which patients can interact remotely with the doctor, officials said, adding that one machine can carry out almost 60 diagnostic tests and release free drugs.
Nearly 150 such machines have been supplied throughout the state and some others are expected to be established in the next few months.
“Some important services can reach residents using better technology.
Install ATMs in health centers, especially in rural areas, can help strengthen medical facilities in the state.
We will ask the department to start training technicians to operate these machines earlier, “said CM Yogi Adityanath.
ATMs aim to bridge the gap of quality health care, especially in rural areas, and help patients see quality doctors even from remote locations.
