Our Assessment
An August 2025 parliamentary reply confirms 9,135 operational eSanjeevani spokes and 1,737 hubs in Gujarat, with equipment and connectivity supporting consultations. Functioning spokes deliver assisted remote diagnosis and prescriptions, matching the purpose of Tele Desks even under another programme name. Their reported operating scale exceeds 1,000, so the functional target is credited. These are service points, not a verified count of newly branded desks or unique patients.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why fulfilled?
Operational assisted telemedicine points exceed the target and perform the promised function.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
The official hub-and-spoke operating count is clear; equivalence to Tele Desks is a functional interpretation.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Current functionality, clinician availability and prescription-quality audits
- Opening dates to distinguish new service points from the pre-2022 network
