Andhra to roll out Sanjeevani digital health project from January 1
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has directed officials to implement the Sanjeevani healthcare project statewide from January 1, 2026. The project uses digital health records, AI-driven services, and integration with national and state health portals to improve medical service delivery. Naidu said it could revolutionise healthcare and make Andhra a model for other states.
A 90-day action plan has been prepared, including baseline study, digital infrastructure setup, training of medical staff across 28 districts, and integration with portals. Tata MD is the official partner. Telangana Today reports that Naidu also called for using AI doctors, homoeopathy, Ayurveda, yoga, and pranayama alongside modern medicine, and for health updates to be sent to citizens' mobile phones.
Telugu360 reports that officials said the plan includes certification of healthcare personnel. Telangana Today adds that in pilot areas Kuppam and Chittoor, 56% of hypertension cases were controlled and diabetes severity reduced in 16% of cases. A survey found 91% of respondents better understood their health after using Sanjeevani services.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both telugu360.com and telanganatoday.com report the rollout neutrally, with no government-critical framing. Telangana Today provides richer detail: it includes Naidu's remarks on diet, yoga, AI doctors, and outsourcing policy, plus pilot results showing hypertension control and high public satisfaction. Telugu360 is briefer and omits those specifics. Neither source questions feasibility or funding. The uniform positive coverage presents the project as an uncontroversial win for the government, with no independent assessment of challenges. The rollout date of January 1 will test whether the 90-day plan delivers on its promises.
