Virtual platform provides new path for health in Pakistan

June 6, 2019
By Khawar Khan
KARACHI, Pakistan – Pakistan is running short of women doctors.

The Muslim-majority country now is looking to new medical technologies and telemedicine to address this issue. One startup that launched in 2017, Sehat Kahani, is relying on telemedicine to expand the reach of health care by, in large part, tapping into this pool of medical talent.
