Understanding your options
Each approach has trade-offs. Here is what clinic owners in Pakistan typically experience.
Paper registers
Familiar and cheap upfront, but no search, no backups, and billing errors are common as volume grows.
Excel spreadsheets
Better for lists, but one wrong cell breaks reports. No WhatsApp reminders or prescription printing.
Generic international EMR
Often expensive, English-only, and missing pharmacy + local billing flows Pakistani clinics need.
SehatDoc
Built for Pakistan: Urdu/Roman Urdu Rx, WhatsApp reminders, pharmacy, reception portal, PKR pricing.
