Doctor Brides: a societal norm where girls are conditioned to become doctors all their lives and then are forces to stay at home.



In South Asia there is a concept call "Doctor Brides" girls are told/forced to study medicine so that they can be married to well off families. As girls graduate they are married to a stranger who or whose family forces these girls to stay at home and their degrees, their hard work goes to waste.



In Pakistan there are 85,000 female doctors that have never worked a single day in their lives. In India 2/3rd of medical graduates are married off right after they graduate. 



During the time of pandemic when the whole world is facing extreme shortage of doctors we are sitting on these extremely valuable resource.



Patients in North America and Europe finds medical facilities in South Asia extremely affordable due to our low foreign exchange rates.



We are trying to make a medical platform for these doctors called MobiDoctor (MD) so that these doctors can work from their homes  and their life's work do not go to waste.
