In an effort to provide guidance on digital healthcare technology amid the COVID-19 crisis, Practo – India’s leading digital healthcare company – is organizing an interactive webinar for medical professionals, to be led by the distinguished policymaker, well-known author, and speaker Prof Rajendra Pratap Gupta.

The pandemic has changed the way people access healthcare, and technology has played a vital role in making the large-scale shift towards social distancing possible. Prof Rajendra will guide healthcare professionals on how doctors can leverage technology to transform their practice. He will also interact with healthcare professionals via a Q&A session.
Prof Rajendra Pratap Gupta, Former Advisor to the Union Health Minister and author of ‘Digital Health: Truly Transformational, said, “COVID-19 has affected a major part of our healthcare and has caused a permanent shift in the system. The ways in which doctors engage with the patients are changing, with the Government of India giving a major push for technology adoption in healthcare. It is the right time for doctors to start preparing for this transition to Digital Health”.
