MediBuddy is India’s leading digital healthcare platform, providing affordable and accessible outpatient care through AI-enabled telemedicine, diagnostics, and integrated provider networks.
CHALLENGE
Universal access to affordable, quality healthcare is a major problem in India. With a population of over 1.4 billion people, the country faces multiple challenges, including fragmented and underfunded health services, urban-rural disparities in care, and limited insurance coverage. While infectious diseases affect some communities, non-communicable conditions such as heart disease and diabetes are, among others, a growing cause of ill-health.
IMPACT
MediBuddy’s vision is to leverage its technology at scale to tackle these issues and make high-quality healthcare accessible to the entire population. To do so, MediBuddy offers an end-to-end platform providing 24x7 access to specialist doctors via video calls, as well as providing in-clinic appointments, doorstep medicine delivery, at-home lab tests, and a range of other integrated care.
