MedleyMed launches Ananda E-Clinic
Medley Medical Solutions Pvt Ltd has announced the formal launch of its virtual clinics branded “Ananda E-Clinics”. It’s a unique model that enables local pharmacies to offer virtual clinics and facilitate online doctor consultations with patients.
Ananda E-Clinic is a basic, fast, and easy format that allows it to be put up in any mid-size or big drugstore because it only takes a kiosk area. Each Ananda E-Clinic Kiosk will handle everything from selecting doctors to chatting with them and obtaining prescription medications.
Announcing the new service under MedleyMed portfolio of products and services Mr. M. Satyendra (Satish) Founder, Medley Medical Solutions Pvt Ltd said, “Ananda E-Clinic is a conscious step towards solving one of the major hurdles in the Indian healthcare ecosystem. Since dependency on the pharmacist for medication is not always beneficial for the patients and caretakers, we thought of creating this Ananda E-Clinics ecosystem within pharmacies, thus making the Doctor consultation process more accessible and beneficial for everyone. We will also be expanding the reach of quality healthcare to geographical areas less covered and to the underprivileged and poorer sections of the society”
“It is also a chance for the local pharmacy store to convert into a virtual clinic with little investment and profit from the incentives and larger client base.” We intend to grow our operations to over 1000 pharmacies across the country under the Franchise model over the next three years,” he added.
More than 50 Pharmacies in Hyderabad have signed up with us for setting up Ananda e Clinics and the implementation process is on.
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the Indian healthcare system, forcing hospitals and clinics across the country to quickly pivot to virtual care. While we are noticing a reforming trend in the adoption of digital healthcare services, we still witness a community of people who walk into nearby Pharmacies and prefer taking medicines as per the recommendations of the Pharmacist. This is observed to be a common practice, especially in smaller towns and villages, but sometimes it can turn dreadful as a Pharmacist lacks the required knowledge and also is not registered like medical practitioners or experienced doctors.
Medleymed addresses this major challenge through this innovative option that solves outpatient care to a large extent.
Benefits to Pharmacies: Ananda e Clinics serve as a one-stop-shop solution for Pharmacists and offer them a holistic support system that includes virtual consultation software, booking appointments and Doctor consultation, and 24×7 customer support to resolve queries, and marketing support to create awareness in local communities.
Benefits to Patients and Caretakers: Reduces dependency on Pharmacists for medication, instant virtual doctor consultation, and access to leading medical practitioners from across the country. Three major barriers that are inhibiting patients are the cost of consultation, waiting time at Hospitals and Clinics and the challenges of working with app-based consultation. Ananda e clinics resolve all three problems for the patient through very affordable fees, minimal waiting time and simplicity of the entire consultation process.
