WhatsApp for Dialysis Centres & Nephrology India 2026
The thrice-weekly playbook for dialysis centres - session-slot reminders (shift + chair + one-tap confirm/cancel = missed-session and empty-chair killer), instant reallocation of freed slots, vascular-access and monthly-lab nudges (reminder only, no results in-thread), PMJAY/Ayushman + state-scheme claim threads, transport and co-pay coordination, and consented adherence check-ins - all built on strict DPDP-first data-minimisation (logistics in-thread, clinical detail off it). NABH / NMC / PMJAY / DPDP compliance notes (hedged) and honest cost math (Rs 2,000-3,500/month for 60 stations, illustrative) on a Rs 0-platform model.
