Truecaller, the popular call identification app, announced the launch of ‘COVID hospital directory’ feature in India. Truecaller directory is aimed to provide a prompt way to find availability of hospital beds for the needy.

This is the latest update on Truecaller’s blog.

The directory is build within the Truecaller app and you can access it from either the menu or the dialler.

Users will be able to see hospitals and healthcare providers in each area. As per the sources, the famous caller ID service app will be updating it every day and making sure that as many hospital phone numbers from as many areas in India are available. 

As of now, the Covid Hospital Directory Feature is only available on Android devices and in the beta version. It will be available for all Android users very soon.

We have started with this hospital list and we’re working to add more verified sources soon,” Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Managing Director India, Truecaller said. “We offer the support of the entire organisation and the Truecaller platform, for anyone that we can help,“ he added.

The availability of the new features by these platforms come at a time when people are using social media heavily to seek information about hospitals, beds, oxygen cylinders, critical COVID treating drugs like Remdesivir and other medical necessities to treat their family and friends.

Even though many organisations have stepped in to help India fight COVID, still the availability of services in the nick of time cannot be guaranteed. Stay Home; Stay Safe.
