Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday launched 'Dr YSR Telemedicine' programme to assist the coronavirus patients in the state. This programme will facilitate online access to the services of the doctors.

After launching the service, the chief minister called the call center number and reviewed the services there.
A total of 286 doctors and 114 executives have registered their names voluntarily to deliver services under the telemedicine programme. The staff will be working in three shifts from 8 am to 6 pm.
