Irrespective of the socio-economic class one belongs to, and
notwithstanding any political affiliations, there is no denying the fact that
healthcare is a big problem in Pakistan. Poor conditions of Government run
hospitals and high bills of private hospitals always leave the patients in the
lurch whenever the need arises. In such testing times, consumers are always on
the lookout for some form of relief. myZindagi, an up and coming on-demand
healthcare startup, aims to make the whole process of disease diagnosis,
finding and consulting a doctor much easier.
What is myZindagi?
myZindagi is a comprehensive healthcare platform which covers
a lot of different aspects of healthcare from booking appointments to asking
qualified local doctors questions through a forum. A very interesting feature
of the service is the live doctor video consultation.
myZindagi has a database of
15,000+ doctors and service availability in 40+ cities
Led by technology veteran
Haseeb Sattar, the startup has been working, testing and improving on the
product in stealth mode for the past one year. The platform boasts a database
of 15,000+ doctors – the biggest one in Pakistan – and service availability in
40+ cities, a feat not many healthcare startups have been able to achieve in
Pakistan.
Speaking about the venture,
Haseeb said,
“Unfortunately the health
system is very broken in Pakistan. Through myZindagi, we aim to fill the
missing gaps and provide quality medical care via all touch points to people;
be it a mobile app, web platform or a simple phone call.”
Built with the mantra in
mind that healthcare is personal, the platform provides ample choices for users
to keep their data private, even from the platform itself. The data, with the
agreement of the user, is put forth to the consultants. Hence, keeping the
users in confidence of their health related data.
The service is available to
consumers both as an online portal and as iOS and Android mobile apps.
