Website for sick 16 February 2012 KOLKATA, 16 FEB, 2012: A US-based doctor, Dr Nirmalya Roychowdhury, attending physician of the Franciscan Health System (department of medicine), today launched a website to provide assistance to patients. The website ~ www.hopechain.com ~ is a networking site where a patient can help another by sharing his own experience. A patient can interact with others from all over the world who are suffering from the same disease. The patient will come to know the treatment facilities and cost of treatment abroad.
Dr Roychowdhury said the site can help the patient judge whether he/she is receiving the best treatment or not.
Patients suffering from a common disease can communicate by sending his/her cell phone number, messages, e-mails or via live chat. A city-based software company has developed the site. sns
