Digital-first HelloLyf™ dispensaries are closing the health
care gap among women and children, creating access to
affordable, top-quality care
DELRAY
BEACH, Fla., May 9, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- UpHealth, Inc. (NYSE: UPH) today announced
that its HelloLyf™ CX digital clinic consultations across
India have shown tremendous growth
this year, with patient consultations increasing by 4 times.
Consultations increased by 380%, to over 173,000 consults by
March 31, 2022.
This growth is a positive sign of digital medicine being
embedded, adopted and accepted across rural India, with additional digital clinics
expected to open up in the state of Odisha. Due to the substantial
growth in consultations, UpHealth has been able to bring more
physicians into its network of dispensaries to serve the growing
number of patients. Many of the clinics across the country are
operating at capacity as of March this year.
The top three patient consultations happening across the
dispensaries this year are: internal medicine,
obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics. Many women across the country
have been able to access affordable, top-quality virtual care that
they previously have not had access to, helping to close the gender
gap within health care.
"There has been an increasing uptick in consults, and I am
extremely satisfied as a woman to be facilitating many physician
telehealth services to the undertreated and underdiagnosed gender,"
said Richa Sana Azim, UpHealth's
president of digital health, international. "In India, more
importance has been given to men's health, as 'bread winners.' The
Madhya Pradesh government is acting as a catalyst here, helping
families to place importance on women's health without the burden
of monetary concerns."
The digital clinics provide a complete primary and emergency
healthcare solution from start to finish through consultation,
confirmatory tests and dispensed medications. With expanded access
across the country, patients are able to receive a wide range of
services, all in one place.
UpHealth operates over 500 digital clinics globally
in India, providing quality digital healthcare with measurable
results, outperforming the most elaborate healthcare systems. In
March 2021, they were seeing on
average 42,000 consults. As of March
2022, the number of consults has grown four times that, to
over 173,000. Madhya Pradesh in central India, has grown to become one of the biggest
sectors for HelloLyf™, with more clinics planned for the eastern,
northern and northeastern regions of the country later this
year.
