Truecaller does its bit, comes up with Covid Hospital Directory in India

Caller ID and telephone search engine Truecaller today launched a Covid Hospital Directory for users in India. The directory is built right into the app and can be accessed from either the menu or the dialer.

The directory includes telephone numbers and addresses of Covid designated hospitals from multiple states across the country, sourced from official government databases, Truecaller said in a statement.

A search button helps you quickly find the information you need; however, it does not assure hospital bed availability, it added.

“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,” said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, MD India, Truecaller.

“This is one among the many ways we’re helping with Covid relief efforts. We offer the support of the entire organisation and the Truecaller platform, for anyone that we can help,” he added.
