Founder Speaks-

“Having witnessed over three waves of COVID-19, the healthcare sector needs to look back holistically, learn and implement more healthcare infrastructure that the nation needs. The past years have shown us what exactly could go wrong and have exposed all the shortfalls of the existing healthcare system including undefined treatment protocols, non-transparency in pricing, and a general inadequacy of the infrastructure.  

The three main pillars that define growth in this sector are – consistent and fair clinical outcomes, transparency in pricing, and access to a world-class experience. All of this can be achieved by leveraging technology. India has mostly utilized technology and digitisation to its advantage for almost all the sectors, however it has been a bit of a laggard when it comes to the healthcare sector.      

The increase in government budget for healthcare and the awareness in people to access quality healthcare services will fuel the growth for this sector.”
