DM plays a vital role here as it helps to overcome the scepticism and strengthen the courage of the patient so that he lives a normal life rather than living a HIV life.”
“Our call centre’s multi-lingual professional staff will assist callers in providing proactive ways to improve and maintain physical, emotional and psychological well-being and support the member to take ownership of their health. They will also provide wellness, lifestyle and medication management information to the patient to ensure compliance and thereby curbing unnecessary costs,” added Srivastava.
