India’s first Integrated Rural Medical Centre (IRMC) has been launched at Sakhinetipalli in Andhra Pradesh by Doctor Plus in collaboration with Bisam Pharma and Quick Vitals, aiming to bridge critical healthcare gaps in rural regions through a unified, technology-enabled care model with AI-powered diagnostics.

This Integrated Rural Medical Centre it towards accessible and is not just a facility-it represents a movement towards accessible and preventive healthcare for villages."
