Orange Business Services ties up with Bhutan

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Orange Business Services, the enterprise communications arm of France Telecom, has entered into a partnership with the Royal Government of Bhutan and Regal Information Technology to deliver real time healthcare services to the people of Bhutan.

The services will include real-time health advice and 24X7 emergency response facility to the citizens of the country. The project is designed to integrate new services to be offered by the existing Bhutanese healthcare system, said a press release.

Undertaken by the Bhutanese Ministry of Health, the project aims to provide healthcare to all its citizens. Orange has set up a Health Help Centre (HHC) that will address Health Line Call Center needs and Emergency Management with an anytime-anywhere approach. This is similar to the 911 emergency services offered in the USA, the release added.

The new communication infrastructure set-up will enable citizens to have access to a variety of services including a Health Advice Solution, Emergency Response System and a Health Help Line Call Center for Emergency Management.

Bala Mahadevan, CEO, Orange Business Services India, said, “Our association with the Bhutanese government is a privilege, and we are glad that they chose us to contribute to a project as important as their national healthcare infrastructure. Our strong domain expertise in healthcare was instrumental in winning this project,”

There is one more company involved in the project — Procreate, a Hyderabad-based company for Healthcare & Emergency Management expertise.
