In Indonesia, Practo will be providing consumers the option of searching for doctors through a database of over 4,200 doctors, and will cover over 60 per cent of the clinics in Jakarta DKI. The fourth-most populous country in the world is today considered to be one of the largest markets for healthcare.
The team, Shashank adds, is on a mission to help people have healthier, longer lives and that is the reason they are in this market as well. Over the coming months, Practo will continue to expand its presence in the region, cover more cities, launch more of its products and expand into segments beyond doctors to cover wellness, fitness, curative, and others.
