About Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH)
Aga Khan University Hospital is Pakistan’s most trusted healthcare provider, serving millions annually. With patients needing real-time updates, AKUH sought a secure, scalable communication channel to deliver healthcare services with speed, convenience, and reliability.
Barriers in Patient Communication
Before WhatsApp integration, AKUH patients faced communication challenges. Lab reports often required physical collection, creating delays. Call centers were overwhelmed with repetitive queries about appointments and results, frustrating patients with long wait times. Additionally, hospital services were accessible only during working hours, reducing convenience and satisfaction. This highlighted the urgent need for a scalable digital-first solution.
Communication Gaps in Healthcare
AKUH struggled with delays and inefficiencies, as traditional channels limited accessibility, increased operational pressure, and created patient dissatisfaction with healthcare communication.
Core Issues Affecting Patient Services
- Lab reports delayed, creating patient stress.
- Call centers overloaded with queries daily.
- Limited access restricted service availability.
- Repetitive inquiries slowed overall efficiency.
