The success of the five Meghalaya Digital Dispensaries reflects the strength of technology-led healthcare delivery, strong community engagement, and seamless coordination between government, healthcare experts, and local teams. Recognizing this impact, the Government of Meghalaya has extended the Apollo Hospital Enterprise Ltd (AHEL)–Smart Village Movement partnership until 2027.
Under this new phase, three digital dispensaries: Tyrsad, Mawdngung, and Tura will continue to be supported by the state government. The other two centers at Rongjeng and Dadenggre will transition to CSR funding mobilized by Apollo Hospitals. Additionally, a new CSR-supported digital dispensary will be established at a location mutually identified and approved by the government.
Over the past four years, it has expanded to five Meghalaya Digital Dispensaries across 3 districts and 5 blocks, covering villages within a 40 km radius of each location:
- East Khasi Hills District – Tyrsad and Mawdngung
- East Garo Hills District – Rongjeng
- West Garo Hills District – Tura and Dadenggre
