I am a member of www.couchsurfing.com a website for travel lovers. I have travelled far and wide and hosted or entertained a lot of tourists too from around the world. Similarly, I see lot of Indian staying abroad travelling around the world and to India quiet often. All’s well that ends well. But, sometimes even the NRI (Non Resident Indians) get frustated in India when they have to suffer at the hands of authorities paying for their bills in medical emergencies.
For this reason, some Indian in USA got together and launched the first ever India Health Card (IHC) in India for use by Indians staying abroad. Beauty of this card is that it can be bought from the internet and loaded from the internet too. As of now, it can be used by Indians and NRIs only but I hope this becomes valid for foreigners travelling in India too who face more problems in such situations.
