Covid-19 has made it difficult for the elderly to get medical care when they need it. Going to a hospital for any medical condition is risky and continuing to suffer at home is not the best option. Yet, most elderly patients are reluctant to get an online consultation done, even as they are comfortable making video calls to talk to their children and grandchildren.

Zoi hospitals, in association with ‘Friends of Elderly’ conducted a webinar to help the senior citizens understand the ease and convenience of telemedicine and appreciate the importance of seeking medical help while staying safe at their own homes. The session, led by Dr.Vibha Biyani, Director of Zoi Hospitals covered Prevention, Screening, Diagnosis, Treatment and Maintenance aspects of health care in the context of teleconsultations.
