The gathering at the inauguration of the telemedicine clinic.
Larsen & Toubro Public Charitable Trust uses technology to bring specialised healthcare to rural communities For thousands of families in rural Khalapur (Raigad district, Maharashtra), consulting a specialist meant travelling long distances, spending a day’s wage, and delaying treatment. That is set to change. On 6 July, Larsen & Toubro Public Charitable Trust (LTPCT) inaugurated a Telemedicine Clinic at Khalapur’s Primary Health Centre, in partnership with Raigad’s District Health Department, and with CSR support from L&T Realty.
Serving nearly 59,000 people across seven sub-centres, the clinic provides free specialist teleconsultations in general medicine, paediatrics, gynaecology, orthopaedics, dermatology, ENT and other disciplines, along with prescribed medicines. It helps eligible families to access healthcare benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY). The inauguration brought together representatives from L&T Realty, LTPCT, the District Health Department, Panchayat Samiti members, frontline health workers and community leaders, reflecting a shared commitment to making quality healthcare more accessible to everyone in Khalapur.
