DoctorsCabin Allows You to Fix Appointments From Over 200RegisteredHospitals

Healthcare has never been a strong point for India. With just over 8.5 lakh active allopathic doctors in India (as of 29/11/2011, Medical Council of India), it roughly corresponds to just one doctor for every 2000 Indians; this ratio has worsened from one doctor for every 1722 Indians in 2005. In such a situation, making the most of the resources at hand is of utmost importance. Along with huge steps to improve healthcare, smaller steps like DoctorsCabin can help improve the bigger picture. There is an ever-growing need to find doctors and fix appointments and this is the pain point DoctorsCabin aims at.As the CEO of DoctorsCabin, Mini Balaramanputs it, “Many patients in India do not have an easy way to find out which doctors/hospitals provide a particular kind of treatment or have the required facilities for the treatment. Information is gathered majorly through the word-of-the-mouth based on which critical health related decisions are made.” Verily, many deaths in India occur due to drug abuse and general misinterpretation of symptoms. “Most of the appointments for the patients are made by a phonecall, resulting in loss of transparency and the patients end up losing time after being referred to a not particularly specialized physician”.

The lack of transparency that exists in such a situation invariably leads to specialized hospitals unable to reach out to their patients and their services remaining invisible to their prospective patients.

So what is DoctorsCabin?
