Dr Aniruddha Malpani, MD
We have lots of information on how to start and run a support group at HELP ! We can also offer a free venue at HELP for support group members who want a place to regularly meet ! I feel the healthcare system today is sick because it is doctor-centric. Healthcare is fragmented and disorganized and there are too many specialists , most of whom have tunnel vision. In order to reform the healthcare ecosystem , we need to put patients at the center ! We believe that patients are the largest untapped healthcare resource ! Patients ( or their relatives and friends) are : intelligent and capable; and because they have a lot at stake , they are motivated to get good health care and will be willing to invest time and energy if given the right tools to ensure a good outcome. We need to provide the tools directly to patients - and support groups are a great place to start ! I feel there are 4 major influences which will help patients to regain control over their healthcare.
