BestDoc, a healthcare startup that provides intelligent Patient Relationship Management for Hospitals, announced it has raised $2.1 million in pre-Series A funding round from US-based Accel and Bengaluru-based Arkam Ventures. Existing investor SEA Fund also participated in the funding.
Founded in 2016 by Afsal Salu, Fayaz Bin Abdu, and Soudabi Neduvanchery, BestDoc started as a marketplace for doctor appointments for Tier-II cities and smaller towns. Later, it embraced a B2B model, realising the potential of digital adoption in the healthcare system.
Since 2018, the Ernakulam-based startup has partnered with 120 healthcare providers in the country, including the Apollo Hospitals in Bengaluru, Dr. LH Hiranandani Hospital in Mumbai, Baby Memorial Hospital in Kozhikode, Aster Group, and KIMS Global Group, the release said.
The startup has built a slew of products which help hospitals save staffing costs and improve operational efficiency while keeping a patient-centric approach to care delivery.
“In the COVID-19 scenario, BestDoc has scaled up its telemedicine and contactless solutions across several states as healthcare digitisation is happening at an unprecedented pace, said Salu.
BestDoc plans to use the funding to expand across India and develop products for improving the in-patient admission and hospitalisation experience.
