Thiruvananthapuram: A call center has been started in the state as part of prevention of communicable diseases. The current direction is to strengthen the call center by setting up a separate call center to include the services of doctors from all districts.
In addition to direction counsellors, doctors and e-sanjeevini doctors, more doctors will be made available from all districts under the leadership of District Surveillance Officers. As the traffic increases, more people will be served.
Various diseases like dengue fever, rat fever, H1N1, Zika, respiratory diseases and diarrheal diseases can be affected during the rainy season. At the beginning of the disease and during the treatment phase, many people may have many doubts. Due to the busyness of the hospital, it is often not possible to ask the doctor directly. Disha Call Center will act as a solution to all that. Precautions, doubt about the medicine taken, what food to eat, doubt about the test result, psychological support, prevention of infection etc. can be discussed. The phone will be handed over to the specialist doctors concerned.
If someone in the house has a sudden emergency or illness, the direction number can be called. Doctors will tell you the first aid to be done immediately. Those who need it will get treatment and drug information through e Sanjeevani immediately. 104, 1056, 0471-2552056, 2551056, Disha’s services are available round the clock. Health Minister Veena George requested everyone to avail the Disha service.
