Realizing the need during the lockdown, the Centre of Addiction Medicine, NIMHANS initiated an E-Consultation portal between these trained healthcare workers and Addiction Specialists. The first half dozen questions were related to the information on health providers, including consent, and the next seven about the demographics of the patient, a summary of the case, and any specific query to the specialists. After reviewing the case, the recommendation, along with a focussed educational material, was reverted to the health provider with a secured email. Total 102 health care providers across India, including 49 doctors, have filled up for consultation. During this period of lockdown, e-consult can be a promising approach as it offers rapid, direct, and documented communication between health care providers and specialists (Vimalananda et al., 2015) . ./cache/cord-346279-tk06xftj.txt ./txt/cord-346279-tk06xftj.txt
