CitiusTech, DocOnline, SEED Boost Healthcare Access in Hyderabad, Bengaluru Slums
Imagine some people don't have easy access to doctors when they're sick.
Three companies, CitiusTech, DocOnline, and SEED, are working together to fix this in poor neighborhoods in Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
They are teaching local health workers how to help people and use special technology.
This technology lets people talk to doctors for free using their phones, so they don't have to travel far.
They are also holding health check-up events and helping people with their worries.
This program wants to help many people get the healthcare they need and make things better for everyone.
CitiusTech, DocOnline, and SEED launched a CSR initiative to improve healthcare access in urban slums of Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
The program trained 625 Frontline Health Care Workers (FLEs) on various health topics and digital healthcare tools.
DocOnline's telemedicine platform is integrated to provide free, real-time medical consultations for slum residents.
Initiative includes community health camps, mental health sessions, and training for 50 Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs).
The project aims to impact over 50,000 lives, enhance primary healthcare delivery, and reduce strain on public health systems.
