Focused on delivering quality healthcare experiences to India’s middle-class segment, Mykare Health, a digital health startup founded in 2021 by Senu Sam, Rahmatulla TM, and Joash Philipose, builds an asset-light, affordable, and standardised hospital network.
“Factors such as a dearth of administrative and pricing transparency, skyrocketing healthcare costs, a poor patient-to-hospital ratio, and a paucity of quality care are the key reasons causing surgery-related fear among patients, resulting in treatment delays and poor quality of life. We aim to mitigate these challenges through a patient-first approach,” said Senu Sam, CEO and co-founder, Mykare Health.
“We are committed to serving every common, middle-class person in India and cross-border with seamless experience, affordable care, and quality care. In addition, we are also empowering small and mid-sized hospitals to improve their visibility and trust, with the aim of strengthening their patient footfalls. Through adequate support, these hospitals can significantly reduce India’s uneven patient-to-hospital ratio,” he added.
With a vision to ensure the low and middle-income groups of the country get better experiences and transparency in healthcare, the digital health startup plans to double down on the cities of South India in 2023.
