New Delhi: If you have a smartphone and have downloaded Truecaller, your hunt for a COVID hospital is all set to get easier.
The call identification app is now adding a new COVID Hospital Directory for all users in India. This will include contact details including telephone numbers and addresses of COVID designated hospitals across India, News18 reported.
Truecaller is sourcing this information from official government databases. A person will be able to search within the database to find the hospital details needed. The COVID Hospital Directory will be available for all Truecaller users using the Android app, and irrespective of whether you are on the free-tier or have a Truecaller Premium or Truecaller Gold subscription, the report added.
The COVID Hospital Directory can be accessed either via the dialer functionality or from the separate menu addition.
“We wanted to quickly introduce a simple directory of important numbers for Covid-related services. We have started with this hospital list and we’re working to add more verified sources soon. This is one among the many ways we’re helping with Covid relief efforts,” Rishit Jhunjhunwala, MD India, Truecaller, was quoted as saying in an official statement.
However, the company has clarified that the app in no way promises or guarantees a bed or any medical facilities at any of the listed hospitals. The Directory will be available sometime in the next few hours, the report added.
