After having dedicated so many years of her life to studying medicine, Sara was determined to find a way to reconcile her devotion to her family and her desire to serve as a doctor. She also knew that many other women were facing similar challenges. “I wanted to go beyond simply practicing as a doctor; I wanted to play a role in connecting a pool of female doctors, who are living the same situation as me, with people in need in Pakistan.”
Sara conceived her business, Sehat Kahani (meaning Story of Health in Urdu), a tele-health platform for connecting stay-at-home female doctors to communities that face a lack of quality health care.

Thanks to E-Health Hubs disseminated in remote areas of Pakistan, managed by trained frontline workers equipped with electronic medical-record systems, patients can receive a video consultation for as little as 0.5 US dollars, or the equivalent 55.30 Pakistani Rupees. Along with clinical care, patients also get access to quality preventive health education at the E-hubs via Sehat Kahani’s preventive healthcare model. The platform is also accessible via a smartphone to low and middle income patients who wish to be checked by a doctor on the go in less than 3 clicks.
