An Introduction
Society for Medicare
Caring to Save Every Life…

2. Before we begin lets share a few thoughts for Common and Understanding and consensus:
1. HEALTH CARE – IS A CONTINUOUS & CHAINLINKED PROCESS
2. THIS IS THE AGE OF FUSION AND SYNERGIC PARTNERSHIPS
New Mediums of Healthcare Delivery:
• Print – Posters, brochures, patient information handouts & newspapers
• Television, live and on demand webcasting, streaming media
• Radio, podcasting
• Internet, websites, portals, blogs, forums, patient support groups
• Social media & Word of mouth
• Mobile
• Electronic formats - DVD & others
Health & Wellness does not begin and end with the patient….
Healthcare is no longer confined to the Doctors clinic or Hospital Setup….

3. 3. THESE ARE NEW WAYS OF REACHING OUT….
4. WHAT IS THE POINT IN INJECTING MEDICINES…LATER…WHEN YOU CAN
PREVENT DISEASES BY INJECTING AWARENESS…
Television, Multi-media, internet and mobile mediums have extended the reach of the
healthcare system directly into the homes of the consumers ….

4. ABOUT US:
Society for Medicare – is an India based NGO in the field of health education, advocacy, content
development (print, audio, video and digital) as well as awareness and capacity building to save
human lives. Health is wealth – literally for everyone from the patients to care givers and the
economy. At the same time we believe that health once lost cannot be repaired, as nothing is
better than the original. Even God can’t do better than He did first time…
We firmly believe that Healthcare is no longer confined to the Doctor’s Clinic or the hospital
system and this is the age of synergic fusion between the conventional healthcare system and
modern communication tools for delivering timely and quality healthcare at affordable cost,
right at the doorsteps of the needy consumers. In today’s flat world nothing, not even death
and disease are not an individual or country's personal problems and the distinction between
have's and have-not's, privileged and under-privileged, rich and poor are slowly getting
diminished. Today, a disease could originate in the slums of Calcutta but could affect people in
New Delhi or New York by the same evening and become a nightmare for Canada or China by
the weekend.
Its an age where Television, Multi-media, internet and mobile mediums have extended the
reach of the healthcare process directly into the homes of the consumers. So why wait for them
to come over? Why wait to inject medicines & drugs later when you can actually inject disease
preventive messages into the very heart and should of people’s lives, much before the infection
spreads?
Knowledge and information are essential for people to successfully respond to the
opportunities and challenges of social, economic and technological changes. But to be useful,
knowledge and information must be effectively communicated to people.
In this sense we see our role as bridging the gap between the Doctor’s clinic and the patient’s
home…thus extending the reach of healthcare.

5. OUR BELIEF:
Health is wealth – literally for everyone from the patients to care givers and the
economy.
No retakes – Health once lost can be repaired, but nothing is better than the original.
Even God can’t do better than He did first time…
People worldwide are beginning to take their Health issues very seriously
Healthcare Today has taken a shift from Facility centric healthcare model to consumer
centric one..
Empowered consumers are seeking information on the Internet in record numbers
Dissatisfied consumers are willing to spend their own money to get the care they want
More & more consumers want to manage their own care and have greater access to
their physicians.
Physician – Patient relationship is changing rapidly…
