Prime India Healthcare to introduce electronic health cards in India

The card, which is designed to store the history of diseases of the cardholder and family and previous medical records in electronic format, will help doctors to provide the right medical treatment to the patient.

The company said it is also in talks with private equity players for raising funds through stake dilution.

Prime India Healthcare mentor Vinod Sharma was quoted by Business Standard as saying that the company has tieups with around 24 healthcare service providers including MedPlus pharmacy chain, Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital and beauty and wellness market player VLCC.

"We have plans to dilute 15-20 per cent stake to raise around Rs 2 crore for capex and opex," Sharma added.
