The first website sponsored by HELP for an Indian doctor is now live ! Check this out at
www.drvijaykulkarni.com !
There are now millions of Indian patients online, looking for medical information . Unfortunately, most of what they find comes from places like mayoclinic.com . We need Indian doctors to establish their own web presence, so that information about Indian healthcare services is easy to find.
We hope these grants will help Indian doctors to showcase their talent, and help grow their practice ethically. This will help patients as well , who will become aware of what medical facilities are available in India. The transparency which the web imposes will help to improve the doctor-patient relationship, by allowing much more open communication between doctor and patient, and cutting out the middleman. Interacting with patients online will help doctors to become more patient-centric and empathetic.
Information Therapy - the right information at the right time for the right person - can be powerful medicine ! Ideally, every doctor and clinic should have an online patient education resource center, where people can find information on their health problem . This will create a positive virtuous cycle.
We feel we can leverage Indian IT skills and Indian medical expertise. This combination can allow India to become a global medical powerhouse and promote medical tourism.
