Healthcare platform’s products now in Phl

Practo, Asia’s largest healthcare platform, has announced its entry into the Philippine market to bring its award-winning products, Practo Search and Practo Ray, to Filipinos. 

Consumers in the Philippines will now be able to search through more than 11,000 doctors in all 17 cities in the Greater Manila area, which is over 70 percent of all doctors in that region and makes Practo the largest such database in the country. Practo verifies and lists doctors for free and does not charge consumers or doctors to find, book or receive appointments.

Practo Search enables consumers to search through this verified database of healthcare professionals and find the one who’s right for them. Consumers can search using doctors’ names and specialization, and even symptoms. Once they get results, consumers can click through the Practo Profile for each professional or establishment to read more details, including years of experience, qualifications, affiliations and specializations, as well as see clinic photos and get GPS coordinates of their location for easy turn-by-turn navigation, right within the Practo app.

Practo’s goal is to list all healthcare professionals in the Philippines. To make sure the data are reliable, Practo‘s own team combs through every street and zone to verify and list all the doctors on Practo for free.

Practo also launched Practo Ray, the cloud-based practice management solution of choice for tens of thousands of doctors and clinics around the world that manages millions of patients every year. It simplifies and automates practice management, so doctors can focus on what they do best: treating and caring for their patients.

Practo Ray helps simplify scheduling, as well as billing and inventory management for doctors. It also helps create digital healthcare records and prescriptions, so consumers always have their healthcare history available to them right inside the app. Practo Ray will be available as an annual subscription starting at P2,200 a month.

Practo is in a unique position of having a globally respected strong B2B software product (Practo Ray) that is tightly integrated with its much-loved consumer offering (Practo Search), creating the world’s first and only healthcare hyperloop that connecs the entire healthcare ecosystem and is helping millions of consumers make better healthcare decisions every month.

In the next three to six months, Practo will expand to Cebu, Cavite and Batangas provinces, as well as product lines to cover more healthcare segments and ensure that consumers have a single app they need for all their healthcare requirements.

Practo currently has over 50 people in its Philippine team and is looking to increase that to over 150 by March 2016. Practo will also continue to make multimillion dollar investments in the Philippines to grow its presence, cover more areas and ensure that consumers have the best healthcare experience on the planet.
