Continuing its spree of global advancement, healthcare platform Practo has advanced to the Malaysian market with its flagship products, Practo Search and Practo Ray.
Starting today, consumers in Kuala Lumpur will be able to search for doctors across more than 350 clinics and 500 doctors listed on the platform. With over 50 percent coverage of private practices in Kuala Lumpur, Practo claims to be the largest such database for the city.
Over the next few weeks, Practo plans to expand its coverage within the city to have almost all the private practitioner onboarded on the platform. In order to ensure a reliable data, Practo‘s team will comb through every street to verify all doctors. Besides, Practo plans to introduce more healthcare products across wellness, fitness, preventive and curative medicine in Malaysia.
Practo was founded in 2008 by Shashank ND and Abhinav Lal. The company has two flagship products viz Practo Search which is a doctor search engine, and Practo Ray, a B2B software product that helps doctors manage large number of patients and digital healthcare records every year.
Shashank ND, founder & CEO of Practo said, “Practo Ray and Practo Search come together to create the world’s first healthcare hyperloop connecting the entire healthcare ecosystem and helping consumers make better healthcare decisions. Our goal is to provide a platform where our offerings work seamlessly together to deliver the best experience for all users.”
In the next few months, Practo plans to increase its product line and expand to more geographies. Last month, Practo entered the Indonesian market by encapsulating 4200 verified doctors in over 60% of all clinics across Jakarta DKI. Malaysia has been the fourth market in Southeast Asia after Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia.
