It’s not just painful to see our dear ones lying in the hospital bed in pain, it’s also the long lofty bills that can really hurt our pockets.But, there’s an alternative to it!

We gave him an ICU like setup at his home for Rs 10,000 per day. Thus, it home care is such cost-effective alternative,” Dr. Gaurav Thukral, vice president and business unit director at
Off late, the home care segment in the health care sector has been attracting a lot of start-ups. However, the challenges are many. While logistics continue to be a challenge for many, it’s the expectations of their clients that remain the biggest task.
