Describing Telemedicine as a revolutionary development he said more doctors should join the voluntary service to provide healthcare benefits to common people living in the remote and hilly areas of Pithoragarh bordering Nepal and China.

Dr. Swami Gurukulananda Saraswati, Dr Ashok Pant, President, Seemant Seva Foundation, Lalit Pant, Vice President, Dr H C Pant, CMO Pithoragarh and many doctors attended the programme.
