A team of three medical professionals Prabhat Adhikari, Kabin Maleku, and Binod Dhungana founded the service. Adhikari is Infectious Disease Specialist, Maleku is Healthcare Technology Specialist and Dhungana is certified in Internal Medicine.<\/p>\n
The service was legally registered in Bhadra 2077. Till now, the venture has provided the Covid-19 telehealth service to around 1000 patients.<\/p>\n
“Around 700 patient have taken our full package. Similarly, we have organized telehealth consultations for around 300 patients,\u201d <\/strong>says co-founder Maleku.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nInitially, the team started the Covid Care package by providing virtual training about Covid awareness to the banks and corporate houses. During the initial days, the team had also developed an app named \u2018Covid NP\u2019 designed to acknowledge the Covid-19 health status. The team also frequently consulted with Crisis Management Center Operation (CCMC), Epidemiology and Disease Control (EDCC), and municipality for Covid-19.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce the majority of staffs in corporate houses got the infection. Hence, we began the telehealth service from the same day,\u201d <\/strong>says Malekhu.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nHow does their service work?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nTwo kinds of people can take the service, the ones who have been suspected to have Covid-19 and the ones who have been tested positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe experts understand the condition of each patient through a triaging Q&A session before starting. If the patient with Covid is not serious, we sign up, otherwise, we refer the person to hospital,\u201d<\/strong> Malekhu shares. Similarly, if anyone has symptoms and needs to be tested, the team also arranges an appointment for them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cThe routine is just like of any hospital,\u201d says Kabin Maleku. The session is divided into groups of 10-15 individuals. Every morning starts with yoga and meditation sessions throughout the package. The rest of each day continues with regular monitoring from nurses and consultation with the doctor. They also provide a diet chart prepared by the dietician. \u201cApart from this, we also have a regular session with the dietician,\u201d says Maleku.<\/p>\n
The charge is Rs 300 per day. Similarly, if one is looking for a one-time teleconsultation, it costs them Rs 500 to Rs 1000. One can pay through their bank account, digital payment app eSewa, or Khalti for the service.<\/p>\n
Danphe Care prepares the package based on the guidelines issued by the government for the isolation period. The health care venture had designed a 15 days package during the first wave of Covid-19 last year. Now, they have reduced the package to 10 days.<\/p>\n
