Free eSanjeevani OPD Consultations; PIB Confirms Authenticity Of Government Telemedicine Service

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.”

How to Use the Service

To use eSanjeevani OPD, citizens can visit the official website [https://esanjeevani.mohfw.gov.in](https://esanjeevani.mohfw.gov.in) and follow a few simple registration steps. The interface is user-friendly and designed to serve people across all demographics.

With increasing digital reliance, especially in healthcare, citizens must distinguish between genuine services and scams.

Thanks to PIB’s active fact-checking, platforms like eSanjeevani OPD gain the credibility they deserve, helping people access medical care safely and efficiently.

So, the next time you see a message about free online consultations, you can confidently trust eSanjeevani OPD, as long as you access it through official channels.
