BICHOLIM: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) Goa has come up with an innovative idea to help COVID positive patients in form of ‘Free Tele Consultation’.

Through him the message will be posted in the group of Seven Branches for internal circulation within the seven branches of IMA Goa State which covers up whole of Goa.
Around 150 IMA doctors have consented to give voluntary telephonic consultations to these home isolated patients.
IMA Goa State Members will make time to time small video presentations which will educate the general public how to take care of themselves ,how to use pulse oxymeter, how to prepare hypochlorite solution and take care of waste created for proper disposal.
Dr. Rajesh Naik , Dr. Samuel , Dr. Sudhir Shet, Dr. Rajesh Javherani, Dr. Pravin Bhat will be experts for IMA Margoan Branch. Dr. Anil Mehndiratta will be expert for IMA Mormugao, Dr. Pradnya kakodkar for IMA CQS , Dr. Pranay Budkule for IMA Bicholim, Dr. Sandip Naik (Chest Physician) for IMA Ponda and Dr. Sandip Naik (Senior Surgeon) for IMA Bardez Dr. Melita Rodrigues Pulmonary Consultant IMA Bardez and Dr. Vijay Naik for IMA Tiswadi Branch. If IMA Member in-charge of a family feels they need any further expert opinions than above doctors shall be contacted.
