The Statesman
|November 18, 2025
West Bengal has recorded another major milestone in public healthcare, with its telemedicine network crossing the milestone of seven crore consultations, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Monday.
The Chief Minister described the feat as a "milestone" for the state's health services, particularly in rural and remote regions, where access to specialised care has historically been limited. Posting on X, Banerjee wrote that #SwasthyaIngit, a flagship Government of West Bengal initiative that digitally links village-level health centres with higher medical facilities, has emerged as one of the state's most transformative public health interventions.
