Dear Readers,

In the summer of 2018, as three guys studying Dentistry and Engineering in India set on a start-up journey to improve healthcare, they talked to patients as a part of their market research initiative. They found that people hardly think and talk about healthcare! Whereas healthcare can lead to a downfall of governments in some nations, it is almost never discussed in India.

On the sidelines of their start-up journey, they decided that as professionals working in the healthcare domain, it is their responsibility to improve the healthcare environment in India. They sent out a message for people to join in their initiative and five girls from Manav Rachna Dental College responded. Vivact was born!

Vivact is a platform that gives you ideas for thought about health in daily life. It aims to be a platform for the birth of discussion on health care in India. Each week, we will present some simple and short articles written by our team which discuss thought-provoking themes in healthcare. We hope that these are helpful and encourage you all to think, talk and write about improving health and healthcare.

Wishes.

Team Vivact.
