All this is possible only provided the facility relies heavily on technology and standardization as a means of lowering costs and bringing in economies of size. Technologies which are not necessarily developed by large companies and are well established, rather rely on small niche players who have developed indigenous technology which addresses the core issues without increasing the costs.
Make technology so simple that skills of the practitioner become secondary and not the primary determinant of the accuracy/efficacy of the results.
By employing local practitioners who have got local knowledge we can create and develop a unique database that can help in accurate epidemiological profiling of health among the rural people. We expect this to help in developing specific programs targeted at alleviating their conditions.
It also necessarily means that a large number of facilities have to be conceived and set up rapidly within a short span of time. We are planning to set up 1,000 centres across rural India which would make us the first company to have such a huge infrastructure across rural India.
Doctor Swaasthya intends to take advantage of its economies of scale and also its local market knowledge and provide a unique service to its customers by standardizing as much as possible in order to reduce the overall cost of healtcare provided to our target customers.
