In India, the healthcare system is characterized by significant inequalities in healthcare delivery and changing disease patterns, which have led to a dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. The majority of people in India turn to private healthcare providers due to poor access to public healthcare and low-quality services. However, private healthcare is often expensive, unregulated, and of variable quality, making it unreliable for the illiterate and unaffordable for low-income rural populations. The healthcare sector faces numerous challenges, including poor quality of care, limited access to facilities, poor accountability, and lack of awareness. To address these challenges, a healthcare project has been developed that provides urgent medical assistance to those who cannot visit a doctor in person. The project is especially useful for people living in remote regions where access to medical services is limited. Additionally, the project offers home remedies in some cases, potentially reducing the need for a visit to a doctor altogether.
