What are some of the health care services provided to elders in India? 8 months 1 week ago

Geriatrics as a medical discipline is not a big area in India. Most elders, for small ailments, will try home remedies, then go to a local physician and only when these don’t work try to find and see specialists, getting an appointment from whom is a major problem. This has started to change in private hospitals/ diagnostic clinics (most middle class families would be able to afford them) where not only can you find geriatric specialists, but you can also get an overall health check done, keeping in view the kind of problems elderly people are likely to have, as they age. Eldess has started a service where you can buy some such health check packages, which are delivered through their partnerships with reputed hospitals/ clinics. You can also get specialist appointments where necessary through them. For More Information, Please Visit: www.eldess.com
