a public-private partnership with the health

department, it offers tailored solutions for

and a high resolution camera, the patient

was remotely diagnosed, intubated and

monitored virtually by nurses on call with a

specialist at JNIMS, Imphal. Aſter 9 days, she

stabilized. Delivering high quality ICU care

to an underprivileged patient, at no cost, in

one of the remotest regions of India. is is a
