down town hospital is a multi specialty hospital and thus can provide all kinds of treatment under one roof.
The use of Telemedicine in health care is facilitating our dream of reaching out to the people in far off places who need specialty consultation, but is prevented by the distance factor. Sitting in Nowgaon, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Pathsala, Bongaigaon etc. one can consult super specialists in down town hospital here through the Telemedicine system.
