## Welcome to Upchar-Q!
Your hospital account has already been created by the Upchar-Q Team. To begin using the platform, you must activate your account by verifying your contact details and completing the account setup process.
**Estimated Setup Time:** 2–3 minutes
## Before You Begin
Before starting the activation process, ensure you have access to:

## Step 2: Verify Your Mobile Number and Email Address
As soon as you open the activation link, Upchar-Q **automatically sends an OTP to both** your registered mobile number and email address. You don't need to click anything to trigger them — just enter the codes when they arrive.
Enter the OTP received on your registered mobile number.

Click **Verify** to confirm both your mobile and email at once.
Once verified, a success indicator will appear for both mobile and email.

Depending on the subscription plan assigned to your hospital, payment may be required before accessing the platform.
If your account is assigned to a paid plan:
1. Click **Proceed to Payment**.
2. You will be redirected to the secure **PhonePe Payment Gateway**.
3. Complete the payment using your preferred payment method.

## Step 5: Payment Confirmation
After successful payment:
