Union Health Minister, J.P Nadda, seems truly inspired by the Digital India week led by Shree Narendra Modi ji. What’s implied here is the accessibility and reach extended; by making government communication initiatives handy. J.P Nadda has recently announced a toll free number (1800-180-1104), to offer round the clock assistance for your health information and queries.

People can get 24x7 assistance on any information related to health policies, programmes, and other important issues. This has been achieved through enabling the voice web of National Health Portal (NHP), an advanced speech system which recognizes the user voice input.

The NHP Voice Web is a 24X7 toll free helpline wherein the caller can get authentic health information on various topics ranging from handy health tips, disease based information, government health policies and programmes, health facilities, career options for students and other health related information,” an official statement said (PTI).
