healthcare as simple, easy and hassle-free as possible.
Qyura was launched on 19th Jul, 2016.
Please elaborate on the entire idea, its foundation
and funding?
We intend to reduce the anxiety and stress of users at
the time they need medical assistance. A person need
not broadcast messages on Whatsapp nor create
statuses on Facebook. They can reach out to our
network of blood banks when they need any particular
blood group. And our network will fulfil their
requirement at the time of need. We have a similar
service when it comes to ambulances. People need to
keep us handy so that in case they are struck with any
medical emergency; they know where to go!
What prompted you to start Qyura application?

Patients are subjected to indefinite queues, bad customer

neglect in times of dire need. Moreover, critical
information regarding medical institutions, doctors,
blood banks, emergency services, is fragmented, unclear
and sometimes entirely unavailable.
In that context, Qyura aims to organize the medical
sector to allow patients make informed decisions by
becoming both a discovery platform as well as an
opinion generating medium that bridges gap between
patients and Medical Service Providers to make
