Medtrip, an Indonesian medical concierge startup, announced the acquisition of pre-seed funding led by Hasan.VC. This funding will be focused on developing product innovations based on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Hopefully, the products developed can facilitate access to cross-country health services. This step will help Indonesian patients in facing the big challenge when traveling abroad.
In addition to technology development, the funds will also be allocated to strengthen operations. Medtrip also plans to expand its service reach to more people.
Medical tourism in Indonesia continues to show significant improvement every year. Data from the government, which is referred to by Medtrip, shows that around 600 thousand to one million people choose to seek medical treatment abroad.
The high number reflects the information gap and the need for higher quality health services. Patients are often hampered by problems of cost transparency and logistical complexity.
Therefore, Medtrip wants to connect patients with a network of leading international doctors and hospitals. This startup will provide guidance ranging from cost estimates to complete departure arrangements.
To date, Medtrip has partnered with more than 80 hospitals in Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea. Their revenue growth has jumped threefold as thousands of patients have increased their trust.
"We built Medtrip to make the process of finding treatment abroad much easier and more targeted," said Danang Firdaus, Co-Founder and CEO of Medtrip, in a statement, quoted on Friday, May 8.
Medtrip is determined to create a more personal and efficient health ecosystem through AI technology. This is expected to cut down on the medical bureaucracy that is often confusing for patient families.
Through this digital transformation, geographical boundaries in seeking medical services are expected to no longer be a major obstacle. Medtrip is committed to continue to encourage easy access so that the public can get the best treatment options.
