Introduction

SECOND OPINION CLINIC is a caring endeavour that brings in a new level of organised support and state-of-the-art medicare for the thorough diagnosis of any disesase.

In spite of rapid urbanization, technological revolution and increase in literacy in our country, many of the patients at rural / non metro cities are deprived of evidence based classified medical care. Generally except at some good centres, in rural area the patient is referred to higher centre in metro cities after doing all the possible treatment modalities. Retrospectively, if a patient is not satisfied with treatment, he had to travel long distances and incur huge expenses. At that stage, the patient’s relatives had spent the most valuable time and money. Moreover there is waiting list at the higher centre and the patient and his relative has to tackle this issue as well to get an appointment of the specialist consultant as early as possible.

Most of the times it has been noticed that the treatment is in the right direction but couldhave been better if some timely changes made. This is where the relatives / patients think that they could have opted for a SECOND OPINION from a specialist from higher centre. Also as an Indian mind set we know that patients / relatives have window shopping mentality. (Taking opinion from multiple people) We feel patients should have access to SECOND OPINION from the Specialists from reputed higher centres of the metro cities.
