‘She Taxis’ to double up as mobile health providers in Kerala
14-Dec-14, The Hindu Business Line
Mobile health and wellness clinic mobD is trying up with She Taxi, which is claimed to be India's first technology-enabled, women-only taxi.
All She Taxis in Kerala operated by the Gender Park under the Social Justice Department will be equipped with basic health facilities required to provide immediate help in the event of an illness. Under the initiative, mobD will supply first-aid kits and digital glucometers to the fleet free-of-cost. It will also train the SheForce, as the women drivers will be called.
Harish Haridas, founder and CEO, mobD, said that the underlying objective is to make quality healthcare available to all, especially those who are not able to make it to hospitals owing to poor health.
