Kangra Care Portal launched

Himachal Pradesh Polity and Governance

Covid patients can now get online information about the availability of beds and about ICUs in Covid hospitals in Kangra district.
Kangra has become the first district in the state to provide online facility of medical consultation to citizens along with availability of beds in hospitals.
Initially this portal has been prepared keeping in mind the convenience of the Covid infected. In future, this portal can be used to provide better health services.
Complete database of government and private hospitals related to Covid will be available on the portal. It will be updated regularly so that the family members of the patients can get information on time.
The portal would have specialist doctors, including the CMO, who would give treatment related advice based on the health parameters of the patients. Accordingly, facilities will be provided to the patients in the hospitals.
The team of super admin, who is CMO Kangra, will decide to refer patients in critical condition to health institutions on time and arrangements will be made so that patients can get better medical facilities in time.
Till now information was being shared through WhatsApp at various levels in the district in which many doctors were also providing counselling, but now provision has been made for tele-counselling through the portal.
