In order to avoid people from rushing to hospitals, Congress has launched a teleconsulation to give medical advice on the pandemic and people can get prescriptions.
The helpline named ‘Hello Doctor’ has been launched by the party to get advice from doctors and mental health professionals during the pandemic.
“India needs to stand together and help our people. We have launched ‘Hello Doctor’, a medical advisory helpline. Please call +919983836838 for medical advice. Dear Dr’s & mental health professionals, we need your help. Please enroll on,” Rahul Gandi tweeted.
