Aarogyapath Portal For All

Open to the public, the Aarogyapath portal can help customers in several issues related to healthcare supplies. For instance, customers often depend on a limited number of suppliers. But with the new portal, they are exposed to a wider number of suppliers. Other time-consuming experiences like identifying good quality products, limited access to suppliers, and so on are expected to reduce with the new Aarogyapath portal.

Apart from customers, manufacturers and suppliers are also expected to benefit from the new Aarogyapath portal. For one, manufacturers and suppliers can now reach out to customers efficiently via nearby pathological laboratories, medical stores, hospitals, and other healthcare-related platforms.

The Aarogyapath portal is expected to fill in the critical gap by creating the last-mile delivery of patient and healthcare in India. CSIR aims to improve the availability and affordability of healthcare supplies across the country via the new portal. Additionally, the portal could open new opportunities for business expansion as there's a clearer picture of the demand and supply of healthcare supplies.

Other initiatives include the Aarogya Setu app, Delhi Corona app, and more.
