Indonesia-based online healthcare platform HaloDoc has secured $13m in a series A round backed by transportation and payments company Go-Jek and e-commerce business Blibli, E27 reported on Friday.
The round was led by investment firm Clermont Group and also featured NSI Ventures, a venture capital firm backed by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund Temasek.
HaloDoc has built an online network that enables patients to connect to approximately 18,600 licensed doctors and 1,000 certified pharmacies through medical delivery service ApotikAntar, as well as licensed medical lab services, through chat, video or voice call channels.
The funding will help boost the offering available in HaloDoc’s ecosystem. HaloDoc partnered Go-Jek in January this year to establish an on-demand medical delivery service dubbed Go-Med, which also relies on ApotikAntar.
Jonathan Sudharta, founder and chief executive of HaloDoc, said: “Our vision for HaloDoc is to help bring improved healthcare to tens of millions of Indonesians. We aim to address [this] through technology, pressing problems such as lack of access and inequality.
“This investment round helps us further build our engineering resource and develop a product suitable for mass adoption to deliver on these goals.”
