MARKET DOCTOR
Organization Details
We are solving the problem of healthcare accessibility and affordability. For the informal sector, They earn daily income and are not covered under any form of health insurance as such pay out of pocket. If they need healthcare it means they loose income for the day. By taking it to them helps to create access without disturbing the economic activity of the patient. We take mobile clinics to the markets and health connectors deliver care right at their stalls or homes. We are also reducing the "unseen cost" of healthcare access by way of journey time and waiting time.
