A unique initiative during the pandemic times, Project StepOne is in a fight to combat corona virus. Enabling free tele-consultation services for those with COVID-19 symptoms, StepOne is a collective of creative volunteers, doctors, health professionals and technology startups who have joined forces to augment healthcare delivery infrastructure.

Founded on 27 March 2020, catering to over 100,000 calls in a day, StepOne has collaborated with various state governments by providing them with free tele-medicine services to citizens affected by Covid-19. Through the consultations, many of the government health bodies were able to filter the severity of each case.
