Student Volunteers in Telemedicine in collaboration with the State Government

Four students from the Department of Social Work are currently posted in telemedicine call centres as a part of the Government of Karanataka’s Aapthamitra 14410 helpline to help people affected by Covid 19. The helpline is primarily aimed at providing medical advice to those affected by the virus.  Each of the students have shared their experience of working with the affected through the helpline. It may be noted that this helpline is an initiative of the Department of Ayush of the Government of Karnataka.
