Healthcare providers needed to find ways to deal with the surge in emergency care while ensuring on-going and routine care for patients. Digital health provided the solution and provided new possibilities for hospitals, clinics and care delivery organisations to connect with patients. While digital health was once a personal choice, the pandemic has turned it into indispensable. We at MedTel proved ourselves and became the best choice for the providers like top Insurance providers, leading Hospitals, Pharma companies & for government projects in Odisha and Maharashtra,” said Dr. Lalit Ranjan Manik, a UK-trained Public Health Professional, Co-founder & CEO, MedTel Healthcare.
