Every new hospital or clinic asks for the same information like past illnesses, allergies, medications, surgeries, family history.

I understand why they need it, but it still feels like I’m rebuilding my medical history every single time.

Is this just the reality of healthcare, or should we expect better?

I can access years of bank transactions in seconds.
But if I need a blood test report from 2 years ago, I end up searching through hospital portals, lab apps, emails, WhatsApp chats, and physical files.

Despite India’s push toward digital healthcare, why does this still happen?

Is the challenge technology, regulations, interoperability, or something else?

I’d love to hear from both patients and healthcare professionals. What has your experience been?
