India is rapidly digitising its healthcare system, and artificial intelligence (AI) offers a huge opportunity to super-charge this transformation. From streamlining hospital diagnostics to powering telemedicine platforms, AI is helping expand reach like never before.

The government’s eSanjeevani platform has clocked over 196 million consultations and 12 million AI-assisted diagnoses since its integration with the AI-powered Clinical Decision Support System, the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry has said. Initiatives such as the National Health Stack, National Tele Mental Health Programme, and AI-enabled TB diagnostics showcase how public health systems are increasingly embedding AI into service delivery.
