In a world where distance and accessibility have long been barriers to quality healthcare, a remarkable solution has emerged – telemedicine. Imagine a future where patients in remote towns and villages can receive expert medical consultations from the comfort of their own communities, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming journeys to distant cities. This revolutionary approach is spearheaded by Colonel Hemraj Parmar, the co-founder of DoctCo, a pioneering healthcare company on a mission to make healthcare accessible to all.

• Building a comprehensive ecosystem of super-specialist doctors and partner hospitals has been another challenge that we successfully surmounted.
• Breaking the local stranglehold on patients from the existing doctors and healthcare facilities is never easy.

• Responsibilities need to be fixed at various levels at the government, healthcare ministry, district level, and state level.

• No loss of clinical data. 

23:10- Lessons from the conversation.
