The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has fact-checked and confirmed that eSanjeevani OPD is a legitimate government service offering free medical consultations from the comfort of home.
This clarification follows increased public curiosity and occasional scepticism regarding the authenticity of medical services advertised online.
What is eSanjeevani OPD?
eSanjeevani OPD is an official telemedicine platform launched by the Government of India. It enables citizens across the country to consult qualified doctors remotely using smartphones, tablets, or computers. The system is especially beneficial for those in rural or underserved areas, where access to quality medical care can often be limited.
Through this platform, users can connect with healthcare professionals without visiting a hospital or clinic.
They can receive medical advice, e-prescriptions, and follow-up consultations entirely free of cost. Importantly, this initiative ensures healthcare accessibility while reducing overcrowding in outpatient departments.
Safe, Secure, & Government-Approved
Unlike fraudulent online schemes that often promise medical services only to exploit users’ personal data, eSanjeevani OPD is secure and government-endorsed.
The platform maintains patient confidentiality and complies with health data protection standards.
PIB confirmed in a recent post on its official X handle, “Free medical consultation services at home? Sounds enticing, right?! With the ‘eSanjeevani OPD free teleconsultation system,’ people from anywhere in the country can remotely consult doctors using smartphones/computers.”
