Although it is accessible to those in Delhi and Mumbai, the services of the health portal and the toll free number will soon be available in other cities as well.

The plan is to first go to the metros, then to tier one and tier two towns, Dhawan said.

To filter quacks, information on doctors are collected from associations like the Delhi Medical Association (DMA), Delhi Psychiatrist Society (DPS), Delhi Dental Association (DDA) and the like.

In the line of services which will be available soon, are online appointments, personal health record tracking, reminder and alert services to the registered members for routine checkups, tools for health management and health calculators.

'Also on our to-do list in the future is inclusion of spas, fitness and diagnostic centres in our database,' Dhawan said.
