This document summarizes doctHERs, a telemedicine initiative in Pakistan that aims to connect qualified female doctors to underserved communities via video consultations. It discusses how doctHERs addresses issues like the lack of access to healthcare, high poverty rates, and gender inequality. The solution involves setting up telemedicine clinics staffed by nurses and equipped with diagnostic tools. Qualified female doctors can provide remote consultations using specialized software. The document outlines doctHERs' operations, competitive advantages, target markets, growth strategy, and team. The goals are to recruit doctors and nurses, expand clinics and mobile access, and provide affordable healthcare to millions of people over five years.
