NEW DELHI: Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has launched a unique initiative in the shape of a telemedicine network pilot project from SLQ platform in Mumbai offshore connecting it to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. The ONGC Director (offshore), N. K. Mitra, inaugurated the project. Christened "Sagar Space Chikitsa'', the telemedicine system will provide instant as well as critical healthcare to over 2,500-strong workforce stationed at 24 rigs and production platforms of ONGC. "This quick response to medical emergencies will ensure timely medical intervention, thereby improving the recovery process. Employee morale will also be bolstered,'' Mr. Mitra said on the occasion. The pilot will be operational for three months after which it will be rolled out at all installations having living accommodation at ONGC Mumbai offshore. Sagar Space Chikitsa is meant to link and equip the remote offshore locations and super specialty hospitals through a server-browser based telemedicine system.
