Patients soon in a hurry for heart care at GMers Medical College and hospitals in Gotri in Vadodara.
Patients like he are increasingly needed with assistance through the project – the cardiogram – which aims to increase the labor of cardiovascular health care in rural PHCs throughout the country.
A group of internship internships and Junior Doctors have started a pilot project in Anand which will be exhibited as a model district before being increased to the state and national level where each PHC is equipped with a digital electrocardiogram (ECG).
After installing the first digital ECG engine in Bamangaam PHC in Anklav Taluka, this group is set to complete the other three PHCs in Anand and two in New Delhi with a digital ECG engine next month.

Priyansh Shah, founder and president of the Federation of Youth Heart (WYHF) – a youth of a non-profit social company who has launched the project.

Gujarat himself has 1,500 rural phcs that will be the next milestone,” he said.
Like Priyansh, Dr.
Adnan Vohra and Dr.
Nidhi Shah – All internship doctors at the SSG Run Hospital in Vadodara volunteered for a project with a team consisting of Dr.

Nationally, this group has 600 internship volunteers and junior doctors in 58 cities.
Initially, this group uses its own funds but plans to increase the initiative with a hyper-local model involving local entrepreneurs and community leaders.
WYHF has trained health workers in three PHCs and a public health center in Anklav.
“It was during the screening camp in Bamangaam where we found that six patients from 71 required maintenance in higher centers.
Three of the six patients did not show symptoms.
It was only due to the digital ECG that the problem was identified,” Shah added.
The spread of ECG machines in PHC will help diagnose more cases like that and in turn save thousands of lives, he said.
Digital EKG machining manufacturing companies have their own mobile application through which sending digital ECG to cardiologists is easy.
