E-Health Clinics to provide easy access to healthcare, Pakistan
Description *
Sehat Kahani (which means story of health in Urdu) is a health tech initiative based in Pakistan providing health care accessibility to needy patients through providing employment opportunities to female physicians who are otherwise unable to work due to social and cultural reservations utilizing e-health. Sehat Kahani currently operates three healthcare verticals which include the following: 1) E-Health Hubs: Sehat Kahani creates e-health clinics in the marginalized populations in order to create access to healthcare. Currently Sehat Kahani has 14 E-Health clinics located in 3 provinces of Pakistan. 2) Enabling Outreach – Preventive health: Through an extensive portfolio, Sehat Kahani creates health awareness and messaging in the communities as well as other populations. We are currently working with Engro, GSK, Unilever Lifebuoy to name a few. 3) Sehat Kahani Mobile Application: a wholistic mobile and web-based platform providing access to physicians round the clock through a smartphone. We are currently launching this in the B2B market enabling access to physicians through an online OPD mechanism. Through these 3 healthcare verticals Sehat Kahani has reached out and impacted more than 500,000 lives. Sehat Kahani is a for-profit company ensuring a sustainable business model around each vertical; ensuring sustainability as a company. With WSIS, we aim to expand our E-Health Hubs portfolio and create 5 tele-health clinics in the marginalized communities of the ignored provinces Baluchistan and Sindh ensuring healthcare expansion and impact. The ultimate vision and mission of Sehat Kahani is to democratize healthcare by making it a common norm for people belonging to all walks of life within Pakistan.
