Pakistan needs to move faster to adopt information technology in our
health care system. Just smelling the need of time WE, the group of
technologically aware doctors planed to transform the delivery of
health care by building a new health information infrastructure and
launched a first comprehensive Medical Portal of
Pakistan(www.pakdoctors.info).
Information technology enabled our panel Doctors to provide
individuals with round-the-clock, web-based access to medical
advice, information, products, and services and any health sector
related query without any cost.
In January 2002, Levant Technologies initiated www.pakdoctors.info,
a welfare project with the help of few dedicated and patriotic
doctors. The goals of this welfare project are:
• Provide an information base for both medical ..community and general public.
• Provide FREE online medical advice.
• Provide financial help to poor patients.
•Improve the Health standards of Pakistani public by providing a unique platform for different
NGOs to convey their messages.
.
The planning, design and development of www.pakdoctors.info costs us
around Rs. 600,000 (US $ 10,000). The current average operational
cost is around Rs. 45,000 per month (about US $ 750). Our estimate
is that the budget of www.pakdoctors.info should be at least
increased to around 90,000 per month (about US $ 1,500) to speed up
the process of achieving our goals.
Our slogan is “eWay to a Healthy Pakistan”. We are determined
to make Pakistan a Healthy Nation. We request all Pakistanis to
contribute in our efforts and become part of this revolution.
