Dear Abdur, Well if it’s a free of cost initiative for the patients then you and
me or any NGO as a “Telemedicine Network” owner will surely earn some "good
will" but practically speaking in market at end of the day everything boils down
to how much I am investing and how much I will get back? Any telemedicine site
needs high bandwidth connectivity which is a remote possibility in rural areas
over this the time spend on one patient by any specialist on Tele-consultation
is much more than that in case of personal visit. Doctors are earning more
incoming by treating more than one patient in the same time frame when compared
with Tele-consultation process; hence ultimate user of the Telemedicine set-up
is not beneficial. (So how can we make it commercially viable). During
Tele-consultations there is further a time lag if connectivity gets lost during
the diagnosis. If we prepare excel sheet with the one time cost of one
telemedicine centre , its annual cost , to make it 99.9% uptime,
OPD/consultantation Charges vis a vis Doctors CTC to the hospital we will
realize.

Eg: ROI for settingup 3 RTC and One TCC will take around 2 year+ on a very
optimistic side.

Dear Mr. Aneesh,

Thank you very much for your mail to all members. However,
Telemedicine has the commercial aspect in different ays. Say, if a
difficult patient can treate his or her ailment, can you do imagine
how many patient will get admission there and it will increase the
hospital's revenue. Further, to treate through telemedicine, the
communicating expenditure is more lesser. So, by contracting with the
patient under a package can earn more. Also, there are social benifit
and earn goodwill more. By practicing telemedicine, the Private
Hospital & the attending GP become popular internationally.

So, there are more more benifits from Telemedicine.

Thanks and best regards
