\u201cIn 2006, when I was based in the United States, I was admitted to a hospital because of an illness. With my family, I assumed that I was going to be put up there for at least a week. To our surprise, I was discharged within a few hours, with procedures and medicines to be followed at home, with a certified nurse or a doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Hetal Desai added to this that the healthcare system in USA focuses more on home care. The doctors believe that it reduces the chances of infection and you being with\u00a0your friends and relatives can lead to faster recovery. In India, there are \u00a0hospitals, which are not very sterile, and \u00a0you might not get the desired category of service, he thinks. There are not enough rooms, not enough hospitals and the\u00a0number of patients are increasing ever so.<\/p>\n

\u201cPankaj Nathani, a renowned doctor at the Adventist Wockardt hospital, shared his idea of home health care with me, as an increasing demand in India.\u201d For Mr. Desai, he also realized that it would be a really noble service with good business opportunities. Together, they coined the idea of \u2018Care at Home\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018Care at home\u2019 is an ambitious project and has been well accepted by the people in Surat. He plans to expand his horizon to the B towns of Gujarat like Baroda and Rajkot by the end of 2016, move nation \u2013 wide.<\/p>\n

When asked, he eagerly explained the work undertaken at Care at home. \u201cWe are home-based medical service providers \u2013 doctors, physiotherapists, caregivers, nurses, blood sample collection, rehabilitation programs. We have not tied up with any hospitals and have a well trained in -house staff. We offer reliable and affordable services so we get business through references only. \u201c He has learnt from his experiences and makes sure to imply it into his business. For him, it is all about providing good service and not just about making money.<\/p>\n
It’s an idea that benefits everyone. One, the sheer pricing of it is such that the service makes itself accessible to a bigger spectrum of the economy classes. Two, in times of medical emergencies, staying at the hospital for long can be disorienting. During those times, things would get much more helpful and better, if the patient could get all of the medical care that they need, right at their own homes. \u00a0An idea that indeed has a huge potential to make the healthcare in our city much better.<\/p>\n
A big shout out to Mr. Hetal Desai for bringing in a new wave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
