The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched the Aam Aadmi Party Doctor Helpline in Goa to provide medical consultation to people who are Covid positive or have symptoms of the infection.
The Helpline number is 7504 7504 75 and is operational every day between 9 AM to 6 PM.
On the occasion of the launch, AAP Goa Convener Rahul Mhambre said, “We are launching this helpline today to help people who are in home isolation and need doctor consultation, or those who have symptoms of Covid.”
He added, “Goans today are suffering because of the state’s ill-managed healthcare system, but we are here to help them in these difficult times. Anyone who needs medical consultation can now call on the helpline and receive treatment without having to wait to get a doctor’s appointment. We hope this will help Goans and provide the much-needed support.”
AAP-led Delhi government pioneered the home isolation model last year that is now being used across India and the world. Today, it is a global case study that is being used to treat patients with mild symptoms. “Patients receive daily morale-boosting calls and as a result, feel supported," Mhambre said.
AAP convenor Rahul Mhambre said, “It is our responsibility to help people, and the Aam Aadmi Party is taking on this responsibility. We will run this helpline and provide the assistance that Goans need today. We care for Goans, and we will do everything to take care of them.”
Recently, Ishita Choudhary, a Covid positive patient in Delhi who recovered under home isolation, took to social media to share her positive experience. She said, “In the last 10 days since I tested positive, without fail, every single day I have received a call from the health department of the Delhi government."
