## The Challenge

India's healthcare sector employs over 7 million people — yet it faces an acute credential fraud problem. Fake nursing and medical degrees are prevalent; without verified employment history and council registration, hospitals face regulatory and liability risk from unqualified practitioners.

On the payment side, healthcare NBFCs offering medical credit need the same KYC flow as any digital lender — PAN, Aadhaar, bank account — but with medical document overlays via DigiLocker. Patient identity verification during hospital admission increasingly needs digital, API-driven flows as insurance pre-authorisations move online.

## Use Case Scenarios

### Hospital chain mass hiring verification
**Situation:** A 50-hospital chain hires 2,000 nurses and paramedics quarterly. Fake nursing council registrations are a recurring problem.

**Integration:** Employee BGV Pack: DigiLocker fetches nursing council certificates at source → EPFO confirms prior employment at registered hospitals → PAN + Aadhaar confirm identity.

**Outcome:** Fake credential rate dropped from 4% to zero. Hiring decision same-day instead of 10 business days.

### Medical credit / healthcare BNPL
**Situation:** A hospital group partners with an NBFC to offer EMI financing for surgeries. Patients need KYC before discharge.

**Integration:** Lending KYC Pack at bedside: patient scans Aadhaar QR → PAN verified → bank account confirmed → loan disbursed to hospital account within the admission window.

**Outcome:** 70% of eligible patients opted for EMI financing. Hospital bad debt from unpaid bills reduced 40%.

### Locum doctor credential verification
**Situation:** A healthtech staffing platform places locum doctors and needs to verify medical registration within hours of a request.

**Integration:** PAN + DigiLocker confirm medical degree and NMC registration. EPFO lookup checks prior hospital employment. Bank account verified for fee settlement.

**Outcome:** Locum placement time from 3 days to 4 hours. Liability from unregistered doctors eliminated.

## FAQs

### Can DigiLocker fetch nursing council and medical degree certificates?
Yes. DigiLocker stores credentials from NMC, state nursing councils, and accredited universities — all fetchable with employee consent via Eko's DigiLocker API.

### What if a nurse worked at a small clinic not registered with EPFO?
For informal employment, the BGV relies on DigiLocker credentials + Aadhaar address verification. The EPFO check flags gaps for your manual review workflow.

### Can I use Eko for patient identity verification during hospital admission?
Yes. Aadhaar OTP verification confirms patient identity and current address at admission. PAN verification is used for high-value insurance pre-authorisations.

### Is bulk BGV supported for a hospital chain?
Yes. All verification APIs support bulk batch mode.
