iClinic Healthcare Provides Onsite Specialist Healthcare To Corporates In Upcountry Areas

Tapping a cumulative workforce of nearly 5 million people working in 5000 factories of corporates across India, iClinic Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. is making onsite specialist healthcare a reality in upcountry India and what could be a better acknowledgement than heartwarming testimonials from patients, recognizing the efforts of the iClinic team and expressing their sincere gratitude.

iClinic was conceptualized and founded jointly by Mr. Sanjoy Mukerji, Ex-Chief Commercial Officer of Vodafone India and Mr. Varun Berry, Managing Director, Britannia Industries Ltd to make quality healthcare accessible to that unaddressed 20 million of the Indian population who are suffering in tier 2,tier 3 cities and in dire need of credible medical assistance.

In the last few months, iClinic Healthcare has tied up with corporate organizations like Vodafone, Aircel and Jubilant to set up diagnostic units in their offices, guest houses and factories in Ranchi, Guwahati and Gajraula for the benefit of their employees and families. iClinic is reaching a total ecosystem of 20 million family members of workers in upcountry factories who do not have access to good healthcare and that too at nearly 0 cost. They plan to aggressively foray into 20 towns in the next 2 months.

In these specialist onsite factory units, a patient may consult a specialist in a metro, over the web, with prior appointment, with a local doctor sitting by their side and share their reports over the platform and get a written consultation summary from the specialist. The local doctor will do a physical examination for the patient, help with uploading the reports & communicating with the specialist and issue a prescription. Hence the consult, while over the web, is complete in all respects. Follow up consults to share diagnostic reports are also possible.

iClinic has got a great response from Vodafone Ranchi where a wide range of ailments were attended to from Gastroenterology to Orthopedics. For instance, Rekha from Vodafone Ranchi was suffering from Piles and got instant specialist medical help from the iClinic team and was very happy with the service. Commenting on the excellent treatment she remarked, "I would like to extend my sincere thanks to entire iClinic Healthcare team for their wonderful support. From the time of consultation till discharge they were always with me. Really your care gave me a feeling of family."

Another employee from Vodafone Ranchi, Moumita Chatterjee who was suffering from severe hip pain also applauded the services of iClinic and shared, "I had a wonderful experience at iClinic, where I could get first class consult from a key physician for my ailment and I could get personalized attention."

Gaurav Shahi was struggling to recover from a stomach problem when iClinic came to the rescue. "I am very much satisfied with iClinic Consultation and I will surely recommend it to others," said Shahi.

Sujeet Kumar's stomach ulcer was treated and cured by the iClinic team. In his own words, "It was a very good experience and the doctor was listening to the patient. This kind of camp was held for the first time at Ranchi and it was a very good experience talking to the doctor through video consultation."

A gastritis patient, Shailesh Verma was highly satisfied with his experience with iClinic. He shared, "It was a very good experience as the doctor was listening to the query very patiently and gave a detailed consultation summary on the time of consultation."

Hundreds of such positive testimonials have been pouring in from all such corporates where iClinic has reached out timely and cost effectively.

Elaborating on the operations, growth and future plans, Mr. Sanjoy Mukerji, Managing Director, iClinic remarked, "We are extremely happy with the positive response from patients who have been treated by our specialists and this has further boosted our confidence to expand this model. We will use the fresh equity to rapidly expand our operations to most of the potential 1000 towns in India that have broadband and 3G and to thousands of factories & offices in upcountry towns who would like to extend this benefit for their workers and staff and their families. Quite simply, we can enable patients in these upcountry areas to access specialist doctors anywhere - and consult them online using broadband. We are enabling the factory workforce and their families to access specialists and super specialists in metros and save time, hassle and money. Hence we can add value to people's lives in a significant manner and facilitate their journey to good health and happiness."
