Patient-centric healthcare extends beyond clinical care—it is about ensuring that every patient and attendant receives timely guidance, support and compassion throughout their hospital journey.
Today, in the presence of Union Minister Shri @mansukhmandviya , reviewed the expansion of Project SARATHI across healthcare institutions by leveraging the strength of 'MY Bharat' volunteers. We discussed a scalable framework to institutionalise this youth-led initiative, which has successfully enhanced patient experience through trained volunteers providing non-clinical assistance, while enabling healthcare professionals to focus on clinical care.
Under the visionary leadership of the Hon’ble PM, Shri @narendramodi ji, we are committed to strengthen community participation and building a more compassionate, accessible and patient-centric healthcare system.
