I would like to inform that with the launching of the dedicated Nagaland COVID-19 Helpline Toll Free Number – 1800 345 0019 yesterday, the earlier existing health helpline numbers will no longer be functional and all the citizens are now requested to dial the given number for any COVID or non COVID health issues. Through this Helpline for COVID-19, the State has partnered with Project Step One for services relating to specific Tele-medicine. Services available in this helpline also includes-Telephonic Counselling in collaboration with All Nagaland Counsellors Association (ANCA), consultation on non COVID related health issues, COVID information Centre, issues regarding nCOVID Nagaland Visitors App and Grievance Redressal related to COVID-19.

The State Government is taking all measures to enhance the level of preparedness in its medical facilities, assisting its citizens stranded outside the state such as - working people, students and patients, and also migrant workers and needy persons within the state. In this fight against COVID-19, we continue to seek your cooperation.”
