India Health Line (IHL), an initiative that aimed at
connecting medical fraternity with the needy and poor patients has launched its
services in Kerala by Dr Pravin Togadia, a renowned Cancer Surgeon who has
successfully done over 12,000 Cancer surgeries and also is VHP International
Working President.
Under this IHL service, patients who want to consult
specialist doctors after attending general practitioner can call IHL’s national
call center no 18602333666 for further medical services.
Once the patient reports his/her issue to Indian Health
Line, they will be connected with the local coordinator, who in turn will
provide an appointment with the specialised doctor as per their
requirement.
Speaking on this occasion in Kochi, Dr Pravin Togadia, said,
“There are untreated diseases only because patients after primary examination
by the doctor do not approach specialist doctors as advised. It is mainly due
to poverty, fear of increased medical expenses if some serious disease is
detected & sometimes even ignorance. The disease does not stop; it grows
further affecting efficiency of the patient, impacting human working hours
& when delayed the serious disease treatment costs much higher. Entire family
gets affected by this.
“The poor, lower middle class & middle class families
suffer more due to this. To avoid this, INDIA HEALTH LINE aims at connecting
Medical Fraternity with the needy & poor patients. Doctors are a part of
this great nation & the society. They always want to help”, he added.
Dr Pravin Togadia further added “Now INDIA HEALTH LINE has
given them avenue to help. So far nationally thousands of specialist doctors
like Cancer Surgeons, Cardiologists, Gynecologists, Nephrologists, Urologists
& many other specialist doctors have got associated with IHL. They will see
the patients per appointment arranged by IHL & advice further. To
streamline further, thousands of Pathology Labs, X Ray / MRI / CT Scan Centers,
Chemists Shops, Hospitals / Day Care Centers, Ambulances / Blood Banks have
come ahead to be a part of this socially important initiative to help the needy
patients & save valuable human working hours of the nation & of course
to save many lives. With FREE Consulting, India Health Line will work on Health
Awareness & Health Education.”
Dr Togadia appreciated the Kerala’s business community,
doctors and entire medical fraternity for continued working together for social
service in health care.
Dr Togadia also appealed to the socially oriented common
people, youth, women and all to come ahead to be India Health Line Health
Ambassadors.
For this, medical knowledge is not needed. The role will be
to coordinate with the IHL Call Center, the patient and the specialist doctor.
Health Ambassadors can organize medical checkup camps in their areas, temples
or in residential societies.
IHL will give formal training. He gave information on a
