E-hospitals should be introduced all over the world especially for rural areas. They should be accompanied with ambulatory laboratories and if possible air ambulances also.


There are millions of people who do not have laboratory or hospital facility in their area and hence they do not seek healthcare leaving their symptoms to develop from minor to major pathology. For under developed/developing and even developed countries its not an easy task to develop hospitals and laboratories in every area however with rising advances in technology in terms of internet and cell phones E-hospitals are the need of hour.


A website of e-hospital needs to be formed. Doctors and specialists should be on panel of e-hospitals along with IT specialists. Any person from any area can register his health complaint to E-hospital via website or mobile application/helpline and medical / surgical specialists can give them an immediate opinion on how to proceed right away. The patient can send his reports or picture of a diseased area along. Ambulatory laboratories can further take samples from the patient and provide results to clinicians. In areas where no Doctor is present, a Doctor can accompany the ambulatory laboratory for clinical examination of the patient.


E-hospitals along with ambulatory laboratories can provide huge assistance, guidance and relief to people who cannot afford visiting a clinician or laboratory for minor or chronic illnesses. E-hospitals can work in collaboration with tertiary care hospitals for referring chronic cases and also acute/emergency cases if they are provided with air ambulance. At times of natural disasters E-hospitals doctors along with air ambulances can provide a huge relief in terms of first aid to the injured.
