  Telehealth is a recent development in the medical eco system, it was just some fifty years back that few hospitals around the world started practising or experimenting with telehealth with the aim to reach patients in remote locations. Ziqitza Healthcare , explains that telehealth in recent years has witnessed increased adoption due to rapid development and growth, and witnessed exponential growth during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.   As per the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), telemedicine can be described as ‘a service that aims to improve a patient’s health by permitting a two-way, real-time interactive communication between the patient and the physician from two different sites’. Ziqitza , elaborates that although similar in connotations, telehealth and telemedicine must not be used interchangeably. Telehealth technically means usage of telecommunications and information technology for diagnosis, consultation etc from a distance. Ziqitza Healthcare ltd , f

  We all spend too much time on the phone. We all scroll through our social media accounts, watch Instagram reels, swipe through Facebook stories, read tweets, and even reply to emails. We all do it and we can be blamed for it.. There are numerous scientific studies out there that prove that too much screen time is harmful for our health, especially, our cognitive abilities.   One of India’s leading healthcare organisations, Ziqitza , explains that, “People have a tendency to check their mobile phones after every ten or fifteen minutes. There is constant anxiety that people have built around themselves due to technology”. Ziqitza Healthcare ltd quotes a research conducted by Larry Rosen, psychology professor and author of The Distracted Mind.

  What is malaria? Malaria is a serious disease that spreads when an infected mosquito bites a human. Tiny parasites can infect mosquitoes. When it bites, the mosquito injects malaria parasites into the person’s bloodstream. If it isn’t treated, malaria can cause severe health problems such as seizures, brain damage, trouble breathing, organ failure and death. The disease is rare in the United States. If you’re travelling to an area where malaria is common, talk to your provider about malaria prevention. Malaria is an infectious disease spread by mosquitoes, in particular female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Malaria is a disease that is found in hundreds of different countries around the world and over 3 billion people are at risk from the disease. What are the symptoms of malaria? Malaria symptoms usually appear 10 days to one month after the person was infected. Symptoms can be mild. Some people don’t feel sick for up to a year after the mosquito bite. Parasites can li

  Safety audits are absolutely essential and conducted as procedures designed to keep people safe. These audits are conducted for various reasons such as, safety, health and fire hazard identification. These audit procedures are categorically designed to reduce maintenance cost and optimise operational efficiency. The audit findings are used to improve processes, safety standards, set or revise budgets among many other things. Ziqitza Healthcare states that a structured safety audit can effectively evaluate the health and safety standards of a workplace and assist organisations to evaluate their health and safety programs and improve upon them.   Ziqitza also makes it clear that safety audits and safety inspections are not the same. While the first one evaluates and examines if the safety programs and practices within the organisation are in congruence with the industry standards, the second one means systemic and periodic inspections that aim to identify risks, safety hazards et

  The recent times have witnessed rapid growth of the Indian economy and the demographics and socio-economic mix of India is constantly evolving.
