Practo to take digital healthcare success abroad

Bangalore

PRACTO Technologies Private Ltd's audacious goal of bringing order to India's chaotic healthcare system is starting to bear fruit, helping to transform it into the country's biggest online medical network. Now the startup is planning to go global.

Since debuting in 2008, the Bangalore-based company connects 60 million users, 200,000 doctors and 10,000 hospitals. More than 40 million appointments are booked each year via Practo, which also offers online consultations and home deliveries of medicine. Its software and mobile applications link people and doctors, as well as hospital systems, so that they can manage their visits, billing and inventory, while helping patients find physicians and access their digital medical records.
