Telemedicine grid

Technology is leveraged to help a common man on the streets to get the benefit of expertise in various fields,like education,health and information regarding his land records.
Stories of how a villagers from an inaccessible place was diagnosed for an eye ailment and referred to Arvind hospital in Madurai with a proper appointment.Arvind hospital has special arrangement for treating non paying patients, and our villager gets referred with a definite appointment there.
There are twin advantages and one cannot say which is more critical.I would say it is more critical to get a definite appointment in reputed hospitals.Anybody who has had the job of fixing up appointments with renowned doctors/hospitals would agree.
Now apollo hospitals and reliance infocom have entered into an arrangement to enable customers to fix up appointments in apollo through 240 webworld outlets of reliance infocomm in 30 cities.This when it is put to full use will be a real boon.It will be a quantum leap in taking technology to the masses where it is critical.
Same way TTD has made their darshan tickets to be booked through their chennai outlet!A very critical application for an ardent balaji devotee like me!
