Chennai June 1 Space Hospitals, facilitator of telemedicine and consultancy services, has expanded its footprint to hospitals across the country. Addressing a press conference organised to mark the company's pilot project for ONGC, Mr A. Venkatramani, Founder, Space Hospitals, said it wanted to take the number of speciality hospitals and rural health clinics networked to 500 by March next year from the 53 now. He said Space Hospitals recently executed a project for ONGC, as part of its corporate telemedicine initiative. An offshore oilrig of ONGC had been linked through Space network to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. Quoting ONGC officials, he said the public sector organisation is considering linking all its 24 offshore locations through this facility in the near future to cater to the emergency medical needs of around 3,000 employees. Space Hospitals is now working on another pilot project for SAIL where the health facility in one of the mines in Kuruburu (Jharkand) is to be connected to Apollo Hospital in Kolkata with whom the steel major has a strategic tie-up. SAIL is also considering networking healthcare centres in its other mines in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Orissa. The company is also in talks with speciality hospitals such as Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital in Mumbai, Gangaram Hospital in New Delhi, Nimhans and Manipal Hospitals in Bangalore to bring them into the network.
