Pneumonia. Anxiety. The common cold. All require access to healthcare professionals. When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the globe, the need for equal access to affordable healthcare became paramount to the lives of millions. And while such an event may have changed our lives in many ways, Charles Nader, CEO of Doc.com, has been changing the game of affordable healthcare for over a decade.

At 17, Nader learned, built, and set up networks and program websites, exposing him to internet business benefits. Yet, his passion for medicine and helping others led him to Mexico, where he studied medicine while honoring his mother's dream of becoming a doctor. Nader knew intimately the struggles of financial hardship and witnessed in Mexico the challenges impoverished communities faced in receiving proper medical care.

While Nader's journey to Doc.com has had its ups and downs, from starting night clubs and swimwear stores to reading business books and learning from his mistakes, his passion for creating a business founded on helping others motivated him to keep pushing forward. At 28, Nader utilized his collective experience and knowledge to start Doc.com. This telehealth platform is a low-barrier, comprehensive, accessible primary healthcare solution for those struggling to meet the financial demands of traditional healthcare providers. The platform was designed to allow patients to connect to a trusted and licensed care provider, whenever and wherever because being proactive about your health shouldn't be relegated to a privileged few.

Nothing in life is for free, not for Nader. By law, healthcare companies must take in data that is very sensitive but valuable to improving the healthcare field. Nader has built a company that can use blockchain technology, technology aimed at transparent information sharing, to timestamp when consultation happens, creating data that the company can monetize on and reward users. This has enabled Doc.com to revolutionize the healthcare industry by offering accurate, no-cost access to doctors, psychologists, and even veterinarians (because your fur baby matters, too!). 

Doc.com has faced challenges in bringing free and accessible healthcare to millions, from building quality technology programs and products to ensuring users the reality of free healthcare services. Still, the growth of this revolutionary company cannot be denied. Within recent years, Doc.com has submerged itself in research and development, particularly in the pharmaceutical space. While free healthcare providers help eliminate one obstacle, paying for medications is still an issue. 

Doc.com has already acquired pharmaceutical assets like the rights to develop and distribute cancer drugs from the National University of Mexico and continues to look into pharmaceutical production and distribution. One thing has become crystal clear for Nader from Doc.com's research: patients want a quick and easy way to get their medicines, and efforts to create a sustainable business model to meet patients' needs have been a focal point for Doc.com.

Free healthcare from Doc.com is simple. You need to be a human (sorry, AI), and you need access to a smartphone or computer. Beyond basic healthcare needs, Doc.com also branches out to women's health, nutrition, skincare, fitness, mental health, and reproductive care, offering a holistic approach to a patient's health. Nader's revolutionary idea for free access to quality healthcare is rooted in the absolute need for this service. Humanity, the world, needs unrestricted access to primary healthcare. And meeting this need is the very foundation, the mission, of Doc.com.
