MediKhoj

Issue

One of the ways to improve the health of the marginalized is to empower them with an easy access to credible and crucial information necessary. Mumbai is a hub for many healthcare facilities but the vital information to access the same is missing. That’s why we used our comprehensive experience of the field to develop MediKhoj: a Mumbai-based patient support portal.

Project

MediKhoj is an attempt to provide useful, unbiased information about health issues and affordable healthcare facilities in the city. The portal aims to act as a responsive platform with vital information on health and healthcare facilities. This platform aims to help people make informed decisions on crucial aspects of healthcare in times of need. It also provides information that’s available, but not easily accessible, on government schemes and grants for patients in need.

This portal will be useful to people across the socio-economic spectrum, as it will allow them to access healthcare at reasonable costs.

Key Topics

This portal will act as an aggregator for health and healthcare information on important, but usually neglected, issues such as:

  • Palliative care (and end-of-life care)
  • Organ donation and transplant
  • Blood and blood banks
  • Elderly care
  • Disability care
  • Support services
  • Emergency services
  • Patient’s rights and support
  • Financial assistance
