The COVID-19 pandemic’s second wave in India has left the medical system in shambles. Hospitals are overcrowded and oxygen concentrators are still hard to find. During such times, receiving treatment at home for non-emergency cases could be a better solution than visiting hospitals to meet doctors.
With this vision, US-based doctor Abhijeet Nakave developed MDTok to bring doctors from across the globe on a single platform so they could provide free consultations to patients in India, including those suffering from mild Covid symptoms. The platform does not provide emergency treatment but is designed for online consultations only.
Abhijeet started working on the idea in June last year, but the platform was ready to launch only on May 1 this year.
