Healthcare delivery is one of the most serious problems faced by emerging countries. One critical factor is the very low doctor-to-patient ratio. In India there is only one doctor for every 1720 people. In some African countries it can be as low as 1:50000. The low doctor-to-patient ratio, coupled with illiteracy, lack of rural reach, and scalability can make the problem of healthcare delivery much more complex.
Technology can be a major part of the solution to this complex and severe problem with far-reaching social and economic effects.
The Forus name means, “For us” - me and my community. We are an innovation-driven technology enterprise managed by very experienced professionals. We strongly believe that healthcare solutions for emerging countries have to be different both in terms of development as well as deployment. Our innovative products combine with our comprehensive software solutions to enable not only screening at the patient's doorstep but facilitate treatment as well.
We develop affordable technology solutions that can easily be used by a minimally trained technician, thereby making health service accessible and scalable.
We strongly believe that by "Democratizing Wellness,” we can play an active role in addressing healthcare issues in India and around the world.
