AP Government To Introduce AI- Enabled Doctor Services Soon

The Chief Minister attended the Sanjeevani programme held at Yadamari in Puthalapattu constituency of Chittoor district today and described Sanjeevani as not merely a software platform but a comprehensive digital public health operative system. He said Andhra Pradesh is progressing from “illness to wellness”, calling Sanjeevani a Citizen Wellness Mission of the state government. The system, he explained, will function on three principles—preventive, predictive, and curative healthcare—with a focus on early detection, disease prevention, and timely treatment.

The Chief Minister said doctors will continuously monitor individual digital health records through the system. It may be noted that initially, the Sanjeevani project is launched as a pilot project in Kuppam and implemented across the Chittoor district since March.

The Chief Minister stated that the government has initiated measures to conduct 42 medical tests at citizens’ doorsteps and provide reports directly. Through the Sanjeevani Project, every aspect of public health will be monitored, including doctor appointments, virtual consultations, and digital health record tracking via the Sanjeevani Card. He also announced that the government is working towards introducing AI-enabled doctor services soon.

The Chief Minister noted that many families are suffering financially due to unaffordable medical expenses and said the government introduced innovative projects like Sanjeevani to address these hardships. He reiterated that the coalition government gives top priority to education and healthcare. He stated that Rs 19,305 crore has been allocated to the health sector in this year’s budget and Andhra Pradesh secured the highest health grant of Rs 2,601 crore from the 15th Finance Commission.

Under the Universal Health Policy, he said every citizen—regardless of economic background—will receive healthcare benefits worth Rs 2.5 lakh, while treatment costs up to Rs 25 lakh will be covered through NTR Vaidya Seva and the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. The government is also filling vacancies in government hospitals to ensure better healthcare access for the poor.
