With the World Health Organization estimating the swine flu to affect 2 billion people worldwide, and the Indian government estimating 33% of the population to get infected within our country, it is clear that what you see in the news today is only the beginning of a long journey.
In.com, the portal from Network18 has recently launched a Swine Flu guide to serve as a reliable destination for panicky people who are overloaded with information – true and false on the internet. Explaining the need for such a guide, Surya Mantha, CEO Web 18 says, “In a time when everyone is trying to get their hands on every source of information about Swine Flu, we decided that there are two key messages that need to be spread. Firstly, do not panic, proper medical attention, if administered quickly, can take care of swine flu patients. Secondly, it is possible to protect yourself by following the right medical advice.”
As a business proposition too, I think Web 18 has struck the right notes. Being a recent phenomena, there is not one ‘authority portal’ on the internet that caters to swine flu do’s and don’ts. Launched by a popular name in the industry, this Swine Flu guide is sure to be regarded the reference point for all news on the H1N1 pandemic over the next two years.
How do you think of this from a business perspective. Let us know in the comments.
