‘Swasthya Ingit’ Telemedicine Crosses 7 Crore Consultations
Pradip Chatterjee, MP, 18 Nov 2025, Kolkata: As Bengal pushes to deepen last-mile healthcare access, the Mamata Banerjee government’s telemedicine initiative, ‘Swasthya Ingit’, designed to bridge the gap between remote communities and specialist medical care, has hit a major milestone, surpassing seven crore consultations so far.
Bengal’s key telemedicine initiative, launched by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on August 2, 2021, connects remote and underserved regions with specialist care through over 11,000 health centres, 63 hubs, and more than 9,000 doctors, enabling over 80,000 teleconsultations daily.
The platform has proved especially effective during the Covid endemic, easing pressure on government hospitals and expanding access to district-level specialised treatment. Extensive training for rural doctors has strengthened the system’s reach and efficiency across Bengal.
