What is the problem you are solving?

There are 2 scenerios:

1) Th rural people of Bangladesh doesn't have an easy access to an MBBS doctor when they need it. They mostly rely on their village quack or pharmacy salesperson for prescription drugs including antibiotics.

2) The urban people on the other hand, have access to doctors but they have to waste a lot of time in the traffic jam and serial for doctor. So they very often ignore primary symptoms until they get more complicated. Moreover, The working class and lower-middle class people also goe to the pharmacy for prescription as they can not afford the fee and logistics cost of visiting a doctor.
