A DYNAMIC PERSONALITY FROM THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY, DR. SUNITA DUBE INTRODUCES WE DOCTORS - DIGI HEALTH CARD

~ Listen to the Voice of Doctors ~

August 2020, Mumbai; Doctors around the globe have been working very hard in order to contain the virus since the past 5 months. Earlier this year, in February, when coronavirus started taking gigantic proportions, engulfing one country after another, Dr Sunita Dube, MD Radiologist & Healthcare Entrepreneur and the Founder of MedscapeIndia stood up and took stock of the situation. Realising the seriousness of the situation, and also the fact that doctors, the first in the line of defence, too would be vulnerable to the disease, Dr. Dube began a nation-wide campaign called, ‘WE DOCTORS’, to help her community. In India, the challenges of COVID-19 are exacerbated by the density of population, poverty, lack of education and hygiene culture. To help the public and support those on the frontline, over 10,000 healthcare professionals via MedscapeIndia have actively joined the nationwide ‘WE DOCTORS’ healthcare campaign.

 

With the success of ‘WE DOCTORS’ campaign, Dr. Dube being the driving force along with a team of 5000 doctors will be introducing, ‘WE DOCTORS DIGI HEALTH CARD’ in India – a lifelong health card. The entire program is developed by Dolphiin Healthcare along with highly committed associates.

The card will act as an access to the collaborative platform by healthcare professionals with an aim to offer 24/7 healthcare support to people via modern technology infrastructure and data-driven-approach. We Doctors Digi Health Card will be available on WeDoctors.net.

In the first phase, they will issue 1 million DHCs with the first lot of 10,000 cards in the national MedscapeIndia Awards on 10th October, 2020. Every DHC user comes with an individual unique health ID and avails healthcare consulting hours with our network of 5000 doctors.

This initiative is sure to take India to global, and bring global to local.

This health card will uniquely identify an individual and will connect him/her to all facilities available on the platform. The aim is to onboard healthcare workers on the platform by 2030. Dr. Dube’s vision and Mission Wellness 2030 is not just a 10-year plan, it’s a vision to make India a healthy nation and the leading country in the medical space. Individuals can access doctors' global network, and get their opinion from anywhere in the world through Digi Health Card.  They can also avail all physical facilities in a digital way.

With the launch of WE DOCTORS & FIT INDIA Wellness Mission 2030, we aim to create and raise health and wellness awareness in masses, and provide easy and affordable medical support. We strive to make our country a leading nation in the Wellness and Healthcare sector with the vision of creating a Healthy Nation: Physically, Intellectually and Mentally. To bring about a change in society, has always been Dr. Dube’s motive for all these years.

1.       Offering 24/7 doctors support to the globe through the network of five hundred plus thousand doctors ready to serve the humanity

2.       Protect Healthcare Professionals - Every doctor deserves safety while working, whether it is a private, government or general practitioner from COVID-19

Once again, access will be provided based on the individual's consent for a limited period.

Commenting on the launch Dr. Sunita Dube said, “I want India to prioritise the wellness sector which is why I have come up with Wellness Mission 2030. With the launch of We Doctors Digi Health Card we will aim at providing our best services. The Digi Health Card will enable every individual to store and access their digital health records in a single place throughout their life, in any city or country. As someone who has been in the field for about 17 years, in my opinion this Wellness Mission 2030 will bring about a change in the way India will look at the Healthcare and Wellness sector. Infectious diseases will continue to emerge, but a vigorous program of capacity building will prepare the world to respond better than we have so far to the pandemic.”
