The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) is revolutionizing India’s e-commerce landscape. By fostering an open network, ONDC empowers small businesses to connect directly with consumers, bypassing the limitations of closed platforms. But how can diagnostic labs, doctors, and hospitals leverage this opportunity? This blog explores how Zealthix, a cutting-edge healthcare middleware platform, acts as a bridge, enabling them to thrive in the ONDC ecosystem.
The ONDC Advantage: Why Diagnostics & Healthcare Need to Be Onboard
The ONDC presents a unique opportunity for diagnostics, doctors, and hospitals:

- Direct Connect with Patients: ONDC facilitates a direct B2C (Business-to-Consumer) model, fostering stronger relationships with patients and offering greater control over pricing and service delivery.
- Enhanced Patient Experience: Seamless discovery and booking through user-friendly buyer apps empower patients with greater convenience and choice.
The Challenge: Bridging the Gap Between ONDC and Healthcare Providers
While ONDC offers immense potential, diagnostics, doctors, and hospitals might face challenges:
- Technical Complexity: Navigating the ONDC infrastructure and integrating with seller-side apps can be technically complex for smaller healthcare providers.

- Data Integration: Ensuring seamless data flow between ONDC platforms and existing healthcare information systems can be a hurdle.
