Now known as the Apollo Telemedicine networking Foundation (ATNF), it was the first in the country to setup a Rural Telemedicine centre in 1999 in Aragonda (in Andhra Pradesh). Today, ATNF is perhaps India's largest private turnkey provider in the area of telemedicine with over 150 telemedicine centres in India and abroad. ATNF works with multiple entities including the Central and State Governments, medical bodies, private and public sectors and offers customized solutions addressing telemedicine support for primary, secondary and tertiary level of healthcare. The telemedicine centres serve as information kiosks as well as out-patient consultations with physicians and specialists and occasionally for some emergencies, disaster management and critical care. Apollo Hospitals connected to these telemedicine centres provide the specialized medical care. The expenses of care delivery are mostly borne directly by the patient, except in some cases where government programs pay partially or fully, especially for the underprivileged classes of the society.
