    HEALTHTECH startup Doctor Anywhere is laying off 8.1 per cent of its workforce across Singapore and South-east Asia, according to an internal e-mail seen by The Business Times.

    The move will impact 45 employees in roles deemed duplicative as the company streamlined operations and restructured its tech team, a Doctor Anywhere spokesperson confirmed on Friday (Dec 13).

    The exercise did not affect any of the company’s medical doctors or other healthcare professionals.
