Starting from rendering preventive measures to managing chronic diseases and encouraging self-care recommendations, Primary healthcare centres play a crucial role in keeping a society healthy! Despite the fact that India has a huge potential in leveraging primary healthcare in the wake of increasing population, unfortunately, the same is fraught with the massive shortage of doctors and adequate medical facilities in remote areas. India has just one government doctor for every 10,189 people, one government hospital bed for every 2,046 people and one state-run hospital for every 90,343 people. Initiated with the objective to help people in getting access to medical facilities on time through the means of technology, Bengaluru based MedOnGo provides various solutions such as e-consultancy, remote diagnosis and telemedicine and Clinical Management Solution and medicine vending machines for better and effective availability of standard healthcare.

healthcare, by improving doctor patient encounter and helping doctors provide better consults using technology within the limited time and also remotely,”speaks Balaji Krishnammagaru, Co-Founder of MedOnGo. Their signature solution, Health Kiosks, a full fledged, technology enabled,and operator assisted smart clinic, provides complete primary care including telediagnostics, Health IoT with video and audio consultations, telemedicine and dispense medicines.
