Free Service of Namaste Health, a cutting-edge emergency healthcare app, was formally introduced for Western Railway passengers on December 16, 2024, during a historic event held at Churchgate Station. The app promises to transform emergency medical access for Mumbai’s busy commuter network. Dr. Anshuman Manaswi, a prominent plastic surgeon and visionary, founded the app, which provides city railway passengers with a lifeline by providing real-time, instant video connection to medical professionals during emergencies.
At the launch event, which took place in Churchgate Station’s Main Hall, a distinguished group of supporters and dignitaries attended. As the main guests, Western Railways General Manager Ashok Mishra and Divisional Railway Manager Niraj Verma graced the event and publicly introduced the app’s free service for commuters on Western Railways.
Several noteworthy celebrities attended the event to show their support to this innovative project, including. Western Railways’ Principal Chief Medical Officer, Shrimati Konda Anuradha; Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Shri Abhay Singh Chauhan; Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jyotsana Arora; and Heeramandi-famous actor, Shri Taha Shah Badusha.
In an effort to improve commuter safety and wellbeing, Western Railways and Namaste Health have teamed up to offer free emergency video conversations with doctors from the railway platforms. This partnership emphasizes how crucial it is to give Mumbai’s train passengers prompt, trustworthy medical advice in an emergency.
“Namaste Health is a step towards making emergency care more secure, timely, hand-held, and accessible to everyone,” stated Dr. Anshuman Manaswi, the organization’s founder and director. With the assistance of Western Railways, we hope to assist the thousands of people who rely on this network on a daily basis and deal with small to significant health emergencies, particularly during rush hours. With the use of a smartphone loaded with the Namaste Health App, immediate access to emergency physicians, and prompt connectivity to hospitals, hundreds of lives lost in the first few minutes can be spared, and the golden hour is best utilized. The secret to success in this difficult task of saving more lives in the immediate post-emergency period is the smooth cooperation of all these parties, as well as ambulance services. Correct advice will also be given to hundreds of patients with mild illnesses, which is equally crucial for a full recovery.” It’s crucial to understand that a doctor on a video app can arrive more quickly than a real doctor and can assist in urgent situations by empowering a family member or bystander.
By providing immediate access to medical specialists through video consultations, the Namaste Health app aims to close the gap between emergency situations and easily available healthcare. Western Railways’ goal of giving its passengers a safer commute is well aligned with this creative approach.
The debut event, which combined accessibility and technology to meet the particular difficulties faced by Mumbai commuters, was a landmark in public health innovation. In the near future, Namaste Health has the potential to become a vital medical app for Mumbai as a whole, the Western Railway, and the rest of India.
