Which industry does Clinical Solutions India cater to?

Clinical Solutions caters to the healthcare call centre market and specialises in the non-emergency segment. Its high technology solutions are most suitable for catering to the state funded programmes like 104 “ health helpline, dial-a-doctor helpline. It also provides value-added services to the insurance industry. Globally, we are the largest supplier of non-emergency health helpline call centre solutions.

How do schemes like 104 helpline help the citizens?

The government has now realised that schemes like 104 are excellent as they provide the basic healthcare access to millions in the state, irrespective of the urban-rural divide and divide of time and location. Such schemes end up delivering considerable benefit to the existing healthcare infrastructure. These health lines are going to be made available 24X7 through a toll free system.

The help can come in many ways. Lets say a child in remote rural area is suffering from severe abdominal cramp. The childs parents can get access to qualified healthcare through proven technology solutions. Even in urban areas people can access healthcare without having to visit a doctor.
