Sources said of the four dedicated COVID facilities in Rourkela, JP and Hi-Tech hospitals have already started the service. IGH and Shanti Memorial will launch it soon.
The administrations of the dedicated hospitals had received several requests to facilitate digital information sharing between the kin of patients and health staff, The New Indian Express reported.
Finally, the decision was taken to roll out the video-calling facility as per government instructions, the Rourkela ADM and Incident Commander for COVID-19, Aboli Sunil Naravane, informed.
