Healthcare major Apollo Hospitals is planning to open 1,000 telemedicine centres in the next three years (1,000 days). K Ganapathy, president Apollo Telemedicine Networking Foundation and president of Telemedicine Society of India, said, “The centres will mostly come up in India and abroad. The investment has not been finalised and we are working on the details.” Telemedicine is a process through which patients can consult doctors located at very distant places through electronic mediums without visiting them. Apollo currently has 103 telemedicine centres, of which nine are based abroad. For more information: http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/apollo-to-open-1000-telemedicine-centres/431246/
