Hospital Support for Working Professionals & Their Parents
Quick Answer
If you can't take leave for a parent's hospital visit, a verified companion service handles the visit on your behalf — queues, registration, wheelchair escort, pharmacy — while you stay at work and get real-time WhatsApp updates. Corelatin works per-booking: no corporate plan or employer tie-in needed. OPD Companion is ₹349/hr (min 2 hrs), paid in cash after the visit.
The problem: hospital visits don't fit a work calendar
If you work in Delhi NCR and your parents need regular hospital visits — OPD consultations, follow-ups, diagnostic tests — the math rarely works. A routine OPD visit at a government hospital can take half a day or more. A follow-up at a private hospital still means leaving work for hours. Multiply that by monthly or fortnightly visits and you're looking at a serious leave problem.
The options most families consider — taking leave, asking a relative, hiring an informal helper — all have real costs: lost work days, depending on someone else's availability, or trusting an unverified person with a vulnerable parent.
What are the actual options when you can't take leave?
| Take leave yourself | Ask a relative/neighbour | Verified companion service | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | Limited — depends on your leave balance and workload | Depends on their schedule and willingness | On-demand — book when needed |
| Reliability | You control it | Variable — they may not know hospital processes | Trained in hospital logistics; consistent process every visit |
| Verification | — | You know them, but they may not know hospitals | Police + Aadhaar verified; identity shared before the visit |
| Updates | You handle everything yourself | Hope they remember to update you | Real-time WhatsApp updates at each stage |
| Cost | Lost leave/salary + travel | Favour, informal cash, or free | ₹349/hr — cash after the visit |
| Scalability | Unsustainable for recurring visits | Strain on relationships over time | Book every visit — recurring support without strain |
How does it work when you book for a parent?
- You book remotely — share hospital, department, appointment time, and patient details on WhatsApp or the booking form. You don't need to be there.
- A verified companion is assigned — their name and verification details are shared with you before the visit.
- The companion handles the visit — arrival, registration queue, token, wheelchair if needed, department navigation, consultation escort, pharmacy.
- You get live updates — WhatsApp messages at each stage: companion arrived, registration done, consultation done, pharmacy done, patient safely home.
- You pay after — cash after the visit, directly to the companion. OTP-verified billing means you control the billed duration.

Is there a corporate or enterprise plan?
No — and this is worth saying clearly. Corelatin works on a per-booking basis, not enterprise contracts or employer-sponsored plans. If you need support for a parent's visit, you book it the same way any family would — no corporate account, no bulk billing, no minimum commitment.
What we do offer is simplicity: book when you need it, pay cash after the visit, get live updates. If your parent's visits are frequent, you book each one the same way — there's no subscription or lock-in.
What if your parent needs regular visits?
Many families use the service for recurring needs — monthly follow-ups, dialysis sessions, physiotherapy appointments, periodic reviews. Each visit is booked separately, so there's no commitment and no unused slots. You can book the same companion again if they worked well, or try someone new — the verification standard is the same either way.
