Healthcare in rural Bihar has long been a challenge, with limited medical facilities and high treatment costs. But a new wave of startups is changing the game, bringing affordable and accessible healthcare to thousands. These innovative companies are breaking barriers and ensuring that even the most remote villages get quality medical care.
Founded by four BIT Mesra alumni, Medishala is transforming rural healthcare in Bihar. The startup, launched in 2019, connects patients with doctors through digital clinics. Instead of traveling miles to see a doctor, villagers can now access medical consultations within their communities.
By leveraging telemedicine, Medishala reduces waiting times and ensures timely treatment. Their model makes healthcare more affordable, eliminating the need for expensive trips to urban hospitals.
Another promising startup, DigiQure, is making headlines with its low-cost healthcare model. Founded in 2020 by Akanksh Tandon, Saket Asati, and Ankur Chourasia, the platform offers teleconsultations for just ₹1.
With over 20,000 patients already benefiting from its services, DigiQure is rapidly expanding. The company provides digital prescriptions, lab test services, and referrals to partner hospitals. This holistic approach ensures that rural communities receive the care they need without financial strain.
For just ₹120 per year, Gramin Health Care offers comprehensive medical services to rural populations. With operations spanning six states, including Bihar, this startup provides consistent healthcare access to those who need it the most.
Unlike one-time consultations, Gramin Health Care focuses on long-term medical solutions. Their annual subscription ensures that patients receive follow-up care, preventive health check-ups, and timely interventions.
In the fight against curable blindness, Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital is leading the way. Located in Saran, Bihar, this non-profit hospital performs over 100,000 eye surgeries annually, with 80% of them free of charge.
By setting up outreach programs in rural areas, the hospital ensures that even the poorest villagers receive high-quality eye care. Their work is not just restoring sight—it’s changing lives.
With over 5,000 healthcare centers across India, Seva Bharati is one of the largest organizations providing medical services to rural communities. Over 4,200 of these centers are located in villages, offering everything from mobile clinics to counseling centers.
