Panaji, Apr 2: Goa Government in association with Clinikk Healthcare has initiated medical teleconsultation service for citizens who are unable to visit the healthcare facilities due to lockdown.

Health minister Vishwajit Rane said, "We need to take medical help to the doorstep of people who are unable to reach the health centre. This is a step towards medical health and redefining healthcare. The government will bear the expense on behalf of the citizens during this lockdown,".

Citizens seeking for medical consultation can dial 6366449060. This service will be provided in three languages - English, Hindi and Konkani. The initiative will see that the doctors provide a free detailed study of the patients and provide customized and accessible opinions.

A Goa Medical College (GMC) official said that the specialists and assistants will be available 24/7 to provide consultations on the problems and help to identify the steps to be taken further such as medication, tests and lifestyle change.

WhatsApp and SMS services will be used as mediums for giving medical prescriptions.
