Health is wealth; this is an important lesson, especially because of the recent outbreak of the Corona Virus. This deadly virus spread so rapidly that a whole city was abandoned in an effort to keep it contained. This virus taught us that health systems needed to be connected, we need more technology-focused towards identifying and curing such diseases because when Doherty Institute found a way to grow Coronavirus, they didn’t waste a second and shared all the information back with the world paving way for a cure of this epidemic.
Technology can help greatly in Pakistan that’s why we’ve listed down the top 5 digital health apps in Pakistan that can help people because remember ‘Prevention is always better than a Cure’.

There’s a ‘blood required’ feature as well that can help you find blood donors in your area. Health tips are also available and the app design and simplicity really makes it one of the best performing in-app store.
