With the aim of providing easy information on doctors, hospitals and health related issues in Delhi and Mumbai, a health portal - www.justhealth.in - was launched here Thursday.
Prepared by Imarketing Advantage, an Internet-based marketing firm, the portal will have comprehensive health information and can provide free information about doctors with different specialisations, hospitals and other health related issues in their cities.
The main objective of this website is to allow users to make an "informed choice" by helping them to view details of the doctors and the hospitals before they visit them.
The health portal is linked to 100,000 doctors across India and has a database on hospitals and health service providers.
Nitin Dhawan, chief executive officer, iMarketing Advantage, said: "In the initial phase, www.justhealth.in services will be available for Delhi and Mumbai users only. However, over the next couple of months, the services will be activated for other cities also. We will be a national service over a period of one year."
According to Dhawan, with more and more people relying on the Internet, the portal will even provide services like online appointment scheduling and personal health record tracking.
