The Kerala Health Department has launched the MeHEALTH mobile application to help citizens access information about nearby government health facilities across Kerala.
Details of Nearby Hospitals
Through the app, users can locate government hospitals within a 10-kilometre radius and obtain information about the specialities available, laboratory tests, and their rates. The initiative aims to improve accessibility and transparency in public healthcare services.
Information on Medical Services
The platform also provides details about various hospital services, including:
- Blood banks
- Radiology units
- Pharmacies
- Pay wards
This helps patients easily identify facilities that meet their medical needs.
Doctor Appointment Booking
Another key feature of the MeHEALTH app is the ability for patients to book doctor appointments directly through the platform, reducing waiting times and improving convenience for users seeking treatment at government hospitals.
