When food, costumes, cosmetics, medicine and every product under the sun is available at the door step then why not healthcare services? The thought trigged Dr. M. Saleem - M.S. MCh(Ortho) Consultant Ortho & Executive Director, Kauvery Hospital, Karaikudi unit, as he was serving NRI patients who were obtaining treatment here and observed that they need necessary follow-up after the treatment.
