Oladoc, Pakistan’s most popular doctor booking and teleconsultation platform, has secured $1.8 million in a pre-Series A investment.
Sarmayacar Ventures led the investment, which also included Doha Tech Angels and other angel investors. Despite the fact that the round was completed in 2021, the official confirmation came today.
Speaking on the raise, Co-Founder and CEO of Oladoc, Abid Zuberi, said,
“Oladoc is on a mission to empower patients by making healthcare accessible, transparent, and affordable for the masses. We have seen phenomenal growth in the last 12 months and with the fresh funding round, aim to evolve into a digital health mall that serves patients’ needs across the complete life cycle. Oladoc plans to scale its current value proposition along with bringing in seasoned C-level leadership to the team, to help scale the organization faster.”
Rabeel Warraich, the founder and CEO at Sarmayacar, said,
“We are excited to partner with oladoc on their journey to provide quality healthcare to everyone in Pakistan. Oladoc’s team has demonstrated strong on-the-ground execution, helping establish Oladoc as the No.1 Doctor booking platform in Pakistan. We look forward to working with the founders to accelerate Oladoc’s growth and unlock the full market potential.”
Oladoc, Pakistan’s biggest doctor booking website, was founded in 2016 by Abid and Arif Zuberi and has a network of 8,000 doctors dispersed across ten cities. The platform empowers patients (rather than doctors) by allowing them to search for, book, rate, and review healthcare providers.
In addition, the platform allows users to order lab tests and save their medical history in the app. In the previous three years, Oladoc has serviced over 15 million consumers and has over 300,000 verified patient evaluations online.
