Jaroka tele-healthcare project aims to provide quality healthcare to rural patients and disaster hit communities by connecting them with Medical Specialists through Lady Health Workers equipped with mobile phones.

70% of Pakistanis get their health care needs through Lady Health Workers (LHW) rather than a doctor. LHW are local women, who are provided basic health care training by the government or United Nations, residing in villages. Each woman, on average, serves a community of 1000 citizens.

There are 5,000 BHUs in Pakistan that serve as the clinics for rural Pakistan. These centers may or may not have a full-time doctor and are usually staffed only by a pharmacist or a nurse. Nevertheless, these centers are the first level of contact with medical facilities beyond LHW.
