After CM Yogi Aadityanath inaugurated the program months back, the Government is all set to install 4,600 Health ATMs across the state within 3 months.

The Health Automated Teller Machines, popularly abbreviated as Health ATM, can be defined as an automated machine that is capable of carrying out pathological tests, dispensing medicines, and helping patients consult doctors through the virtual space facilitated by the machine. Its structure is similar to that of an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) with features such as touch-screen kiosk hardware.

It can also check and deduce the patient's condition, including their height, weight, body temperature, blood glucose, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels.

A press statement from the state government has revealed that medical experts have already been stationed at 200 health ATMs, which are being set up to improve healthcare services in the state.
