A New Search Engine For Healthcare

October 1, 2014

Imagine being able to shop and purchase health insurance and find healthcare like you were booking a trip? That was the basic idea for Whatclinic.com, described as a TripAdvisor website was designed to meet the demands of South Africa’s healthcare’s needs. IT News Africa has more information in the article, “Global Healthcare Search Engine Launches In SA.”

According to the press release, there are already 500 clinics on the Web site and the numbers is expected to double in the next three months. The information on the clinics includes hours of operation, location, staff, treatments, price, and staff. Like TripAdvisor, people can leave comments and ratings.

“ ‘Our value proposition is based on empowering patients with easily accessible and centralized information to help them make informed decisions about their treatment… specifically, where to source the right treatment for them,’ says [Caelen King, founder of WhatClinic].”

It is no surprise that online healthcare research is growing. WhatClinic.com reports that 15.7 million people use the Web site and projections only show that will increase. There are similar services in America, but WhatClinic should investigate coming to the US or a startup could nab the idea.

    underlying feature. Vo – IP phone may be the advanced approach to carrying business.
    A number of these include a computerized attendant and
    queuing to get a call center.
