Healthcare startup MediBuddy acquires online doctor consultation startup Clinix
- ByStartupStory | July 14, 2022
MediBuddy, a digital healthcare platform, announced the acquisition of Clinix, an online medical consultation platform focusing on rural India, for an undisclosed amount on Wednesday. Clinix offers a network of 20 tier 3 and tier 4 cities that serve the rural population’s healthcare requirements. The acquisition of Clinix by MediBuddy will allow them to extend their operations and spread their services to rural India’s interiors.
Clinix has established a mechanism for training and empowering individuals by teaching them how to arrange online doctor consultations. Furthermore, they have set up kiosks in various areas that effectively act as an e-clinic, where individuals may visit a doctor online for their general healthcare requirements with the assistance of a facilitator. “With our network & infra-tech support, we intend to extend our reach and services further and achieve our objective of addressing a big portion of the population who have inadequate access to quality healthcare,” said Satish Kannan, MediBuddy’s co-founder, and CEO.
“The doctor-patient ratio in India is very lopsided, and when opposed to rural India, it is even lower.” “MediBuddy’s advanced technology and large network can go a long way to helping us reach a broader population and overcome the urban-rural gap in terms of excellent healthcare solutions,” said Aravind Dhulipala, Clinix’s co-founder and CEO. MediBuddy presently serves 30,000 consumers and expects to reach 1 lakh in the next year.
The platform intends to use the funds acquired to extend its geographic and network coverage and offer new services. Currently has around 90,000 practitioners, 7,000 hospitals, 3000 diagnostic centers, 2,500 pharmacies, and a team of 1,800 members.
