> PPHI's telehealth service handled 495 consultations from 35 districts on day one. Here is what it covers and how to use it.

**Balochistan has launched Sehat Dehleez, a free telehealth service that connects people with qualified doctors around the clock through an Android app and a web app**, Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti announced on X on Wednesday, [ARY News reported](https://arynews.tv/sehat-dehleez-%d8%a7pp-launched-for-free-medical-consultations-with-qualified-doctors). The service is run by the People's Primary Healthcare Initiative (**PPHI**) Balochistan.

## What it offers

- **Cost:** free.
- **Hours:** 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, according to the chief minister.
- **Covers:** general health problems, mother and child health, advice on common illnesses and health awareness.
- **Who it is for:** anyone in Balochistan, especially people in remote areas far from a hospital or basic health unit.

## How to use it

Download the Android app or open the web app through the **QR codes PPHI distributes**, then request a consultation and a doctor calls or chats with you from wherever you are. No iPhone app or helpline number has been announced yet. For anything urgent, such as chest pain, heavy bleeding or a child who cannot breathe properly, go to the nearest hospital or call 1122 rather than waiting for an online consultation.

## First day in numbers

PPHI's figures for the first day, as reported by ARY:

| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Consultation calls received | 791 |
| Consultations completed | 495 |
| Calls with location data | 718 |
| Districts reached | 35 |

Balochistan is Pakistan's largest province by area and its least densely populated, so a trip to a doctor can mean hours on the road; a phone consultation can settle whether that trip is needed.
