MedAi's SMART Health Champion program is creating a wave of positive change in Bangladesh. Today, we meet two
inspiring champions, Nusrat Jahan Shimu and Shanta Akhter, who are dedicated to improving healthcare access in
their communities.
Challenges of Regular Healthcare
Both Shimu and Akhter understand the struggles of accessing regular healthcare. "Working in a garment
factory," says Shimu, "makes taking a day off for a doctor's visit difficult. It means losing wages, which are
already limited. With medical treatment costs on top, we often delay seeing a doctor for as long as possible."
Why Become a SMART Health Champion?
Despite these challenges, Shimu and Akhter are driven by a desire to help others. "The potential to
benefit so many people motivates me," shares Akhter. "I know firsthand how much faster access to a
doctor through a mobile app can improve the quality of care we receive.
The Power of Empowerment:
The Amar Doctor app is a game-changer for these champions. "It empowers me to take charge of my health,
my family's well-being, and even connect my community to essential healthcare," says Shimu with pride.
"Being a SMART Health Champion is a source of immense pride."
Shimu and Akhter are just two of the many inspiring champions making a difference. Stay tuned to meet
more champions and learn how MedAi's program is transforming healthcare access in Bangladesh!
