Medikoe, the first online medical platform to provide value-added offers on 360-degree Healthcare & Wellness products has joined hands with KickStart Cabs to extend a helping hand to its users with locomotor disabilities. KickStart Cabs is one-of-a-kind service that provides commuting solutions for all those with permanent disabilities, temporary injuries and for those with special conditions. In short, KicKStart caters to all those who are physically dependent on others for their movement.
Commenting on this association, Sreevalsan Menon, Founder and CEO of Medikoe said, “Mobility is a major concern, especially for senior citizens and Persons with disabilities in our country. Our tie-up with KickStart Cabs will enable us to make our services accessible to all those people who face locomotor disabilities and are usually home-bound as they don’t have transport to move about. Moreover, the association will open strategic avenues for Medikoe and help each and every citizen in the country gain access to our healthcare services with ease.”
KicKStart Cabs Spokesperson Srikrish Siva, CEO, said, “By joining hands with a holistic medical platform like Medikoe, we will be able to bring in a difference in the lives of people who are stuck in their homes due to their inability to travel. We offer specially designed cars for those with mobility restrictions and trained drivers who will assist the passengers. We believe that Medikoe and KickStart Cabs is an ideal synergistic match and are certain that the partnership will help us set new yardsticks in the transport services of our country.”
KickStart vehicles come in two models, wheelchair roll-in and turn-out wheel chair models. The wheel chair roll-in model is useful for those who are permanent wheel chair users and for whom transfers are inconvenient, like those with spinal cord injuries. Dialysis patients, post-operative patients, fractured patients are likely to benefit from the turn-out wheel chair model. KickStart looks at making commuting hassle-free for the disabled, and Medikoe aims to support their initiative through this latest tie-up.
