“Uday” – doctor at doorstep; is our model of digital clinic delivering primary care and public health services to the underserved rural population through its 15 centres (fixed and cycle-based mobile) at Birbhum district of West Bengal and one (1) motor-boat at The Sunderbans (world’s largest delta and mangrove).
It is led by remote doctors, delivered by community health workers (CHW) and supported by two sets of innovative technologies –
A Clinical algorithm-driven Electronic Health Record (our own copyrighted software).
Multiple clinical grade & certified diagnostic devices from IIT Kharagpur (Common Research & Technology Development Hub in affordable healthcare).
