Mriduchanda Nag, 42, is a resident of Mumbai. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Confused by multiple alternative treatments suggested by her doctors, she wanted to seek a second opinion. However, she did not want to go through the lengthy process of hospital queues and waiting again. To her rescue came 'Navya', an initiative that allows cancer patients to upload their medical reports and receive a second opinion from doctors across the country. The cost of online consultation is Rs 6,500 and the hospital promises to deliver reports within 24 hours.
