Scandinavian technology company Truecaller announced on Wednesday the launch of its new feature for India – Covid Healthcare Directory.
The company said in its official blog this feature will be a quick way to find hospitals. Users can access it from either the menu or the dialer within the Truecaller app.
The Company in an official post said “in light of the recent rise in cases, it’s important that Truecaller helps in any way we can.” “We decided to make it as easy as possible for everyone in India to find medical care near them. It can be hard to find the right healthcare numbers when you need it most, so we’ve added it to the app.”
The feature includes telephone numbers and addresses of COVID-19 designated hospitals from multiple states across the country. The company said that this Healthcare Directory is sourced from official government databases.
“We will be updating it every day and making sure that as many hospital phone numbers from as many areas in India are available.” As of now this feature is available only to Android users, and it is in its nascent stage, and is being made available to various parts of the country.
