SECMEDS – Medical Second Opinion Experts has its genesis in personal experiences

Dr. Loveleen Johri, a medical doctor with post graduations in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and in Community Health Administration founded the SECMEDS online Medical Second Opinion platform. Working as a clinician for eighteen years at different hospitals and then pursuing her passion in public health at different bilateral and multilateral organisations, Loveleen was often asked questions by colleagues, friends and family about health and illnesses. Most of the times people would show an investigation report for an opinion, or share their treating doctor’s prescription for clarifying or reconfirming the advice they got, especially when a surgery was recommended or when a critical illness was diagnosed. At times, for a given condition, different lines of management were recommended by different physicians based on their level of experience and/ or place of work. Sometimes a disconnect between an investigation and a recommendation was observed. These incidents, including a couple of personal events when Loveleen had to cross check the medical recommendations for her close family member, before moving ahead with a particular course of treatment, made her realise an existing gap in easily accessible medical Second Opinion in the country. She wondered that if she being in medical field had difficulty in deciphering and deciding on a particular treatment option from different recommended treatment regimens, how would those without a medical background come to a conclusion. Such discussions at home identified a clear unmet need for access to accurate and ethical medical Second Opinion in India that led to the genesis of SECMEDS – Medical Second Opinion Experts.

The online platform called SECMEDS – Medical Second Opinion Experts, provides unbiased, accurate and timely expert medical Second Opinion to the patients and/ or to the physicians.

SECMEDS has taken great care in identifying the best in class national as well as international experts/ institutions who review medical records and offer medical Second Opinion to physician (MSO-Clinician) and patient (MSO-Patient).

SECMEDS’ vision is to empower patients and general physicians, with easily accessible, affordable and highest quality medical Second Opinion to enable them to choose and seek the right care by the right provider at the right time.

SECMEDS provides Second Opinion on cancers and chronic illnesses. It does not provide any Opinion on acute illnesses or emergencies.

SECMEDS Medical Second Opinion Experts is lucky to have senior advisors on board who provide constant guidance and direction to the effort.
