About the Sparsh Sanjeevani Initiative
The Sparsh Sanjeevani initiative by the Hyundai Motor India Foundation was created to enhance healthcare services in remote villages by making primary healthcare accessible to underserved communities. Telemedicine clinics are nurse-assisted, where patients connect with specialist doctors through video calls for remote consultations. After the consultation, the on-ground nurse provides the prescribed medicines to each patient. This service is offered at a nominal charge of Rs. 100 per patient and includes the option for follow-up consultations.
