Founder Speaks-

"India’s healthcare industry is undergoing an unprecedented crisis with the hit of pandemic but the overall industry has shown hope over the past few years, though still behind the agreeable number in essential areas.

The overall Indian healthcare market is forecasted to grow up to $300 billion. Factors like rising urbanization, increasing healthcare awareness, availability and accessibility, will speed up the growth of this sector.

But the real scenario of demand-supply gap is huge in tier II & III cities and patients and care-givers have to travel very large distances to seek medical care. This puts an enormous economic burden on the families. At least one male relative accompanies the patient and arrangement of boarding and lodging in addition to the expected expenditure on medical care incurs a huge out of pocket expenses and eventually causes financial burden by the loss of wages for the accompanying person."
