What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.

Original manifesto wording

“We will ensure that people can access quality health services at their fingertips through the scaling up of Tele-Consultation including Tele-Counseling and Tele-Therapy. Under this, we will: • Set up 1,000 Tele Desks to provide basic diagnosis and prescription • Ensure easy access to medicine at the doorstep in rural areas”

Our Assessment

Gujarat recorded 24,11,371 eSanjeevani consultations in 2024–25, with 1,737 operational hubs and 9,135 spokes reported in August 2025. Tele-MANAS adds functioning mental-health counselling. This establishes substantial remote-care delivery. It does not verify the complete promised combination of tele-therapy, designated Tele Desks and convenient rural medicine delivery. Digital consultation counts alone cannot establish successful treatment or fulfilment of every component.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Identifiable delivery or administrative action is documented, but full scope or coverage remains unverified.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Service coverage, therapy outcomes and rural prescription fulfilment
