If you are in an emergency and looking for a doctor, then all you need to do is to dial 1-800 1021102 or log into www.JustHealth.in. All the information you need on the doctor, his contact number and address of a hospital is available free of charge.
This initiative, with a database of over 150,000 doctors and over 1,000 hospitals, is aimed at making health services more accessible.
This website which was launched two months ago has all the information related to a doctor in a specific area. The phone service is an additional feature that will make the services accessible to those who do not have access to internet.
Nitin Dhawan, CEO, iMarketing Advantage who is responsible this initiative said: "In case somebody is unable to locate a doctor or a specialist in his or her area, they can opt to search for someone within a radius of three kilometres".
Even though this facility is accessible to only those in Delhi and Mumbai, there are plans to make these services of the health portal and the toll free number to be made available in other cities as well.
To filter quacks, information on doctors are collected from associations like the Delhi Medical Association (DMA), Delhi Psychiatrist Society (DPS), Delhi Dental Association (DDA) and the like.
The other services which will soon be available over the health portal include online appointments, personal health record tracking, reminder and alert services to the registered members for routine checkups, tools for health management and health calculators.
"Also on our to-do list in the future is inclusion of spas, fitness and diagnostic centres in our database," Dhawan said.
