Dr. Repu Dhaman Chand has spent more than 25 years at the intersection of information technology and healthcare delivery. Since 2004 he has been part of the Telemedicine Programme at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), Lucknow — one of India's earliest and largest academic telemedicine centres — where he now serves as Manager, Telemedicine Networks for the National Medical College Network (NMCN), an enterprise digital infrastructure funded by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.
His work sits at the technical core of telehealth: designing IP-based teleconsultation systems, deploying videoconferencing and knowledge-network infrastructure across hospitals, and training the engineers and clinicians who keep those networks running. That work has taken him beyond India, as a short-term technical consultant for the World Bank in the Maldives and for WHO in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Alongside implementation, he maintains an active research programme — six journal papers, sixteen Scopus-indexed international conference papers, four book chapters and a long record of presentations at the Telemedicine Society of India's annual conferences — completed with a Ph.D. in Information Technology in 2025.
