Why MediHub E-Health or Telemedicine Service

COVID-19 has put forward an unprecedented health challenge in recent history of mankind. Governments disregarding rich or poor are struggling to ensure both preventive and curative measures of treatment under their existing healthcare service system. Since the first detection of infection in Wuhan, China near about 106 million people are being detected positive and over 23,27,390 death mostly in developed countries like USA, Brasil, Spain, UK. Infection rate in India is alarmingly high. Compared to its economy, health service facilities and population, Bangladesh still maintains lower infection rate and number of deaths.

Healthcare Services in Bangladesh has remarkably improved in last one decade both in Government and Private Sectors. However COVID-19 has led to a dramatic reduction in the numbers of patients seeking care in both planned and non-urgent procedures and surgeries. It has been observed that many patients are scared to visit health facilities fearing COVID-19, which is also true for doctors, where they are scared about attending patients to avoid risks of infection. This leads to significant negative consequences, be it increased patient expenses, patients not reaching the right doctor or not getting the appropriate investigation, and also an erosion in the doctor-patient relationship. Also there are some grey areas related to treatment decisions, where doctors are not sure of the best way forward for the patient and how they would resume treatment in post pandemic practices once ‘normalcy’ is restored.

COVID-19 has forced the health service providers and service seekers to consider an alternative option such as E Health or Telemedicine.

MediHub E-Health service has emerged to seize this challenge and help building stronger relationship between doctor-patient by creating a window of opportunity, which is not just a wishful thinking, but a genuine option.
