Govt
set to launch 'heal in India' plan
Extract :
The Union health
ministry is giving final touches to a new initiative - heal in India and heal by India - a new portal which is
likely to be announced by the prime minister (PM) on August 15. The new portal
aims to give impetus to medical tourism.
Developed under the
Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, the portal will have :
# a repository of healthcare
professionals,
# hospitals services to help overseas patients seeking medical help in India.
"India is the
pharmacy of the world. The new initiative aims to make India the medical hub of the world," said a senior government
official on the condition of anonymity.
===================================================
Dear Shri
Mansukh Mandaviyaji,
Congratulations on this long over-due initiative .
Your proposed portal should not just remain an exhaustive
DATA-BASE of :
# Doctors
# Hospitals
( Allopathic – Ayurvedic - Homeopathic etc )
# Charges for
various “ treatments / procedures “ etc.,
BUT
# should enable booking / online payments / progress reports ( only viewable by
relatives authorized explicitly
# Feedback – Rating by patients
# Nearby
facilities for staying ( for persons accompanying the patients )
I strongly urge you to convince ONDC ( Online
Network of Digital Commerce ) CEO , Shri Koshy to explore linking of this portal
with ONDC
Please do grant FREE access to these databases /
searches , for anyone without having to login
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
