In a bid to diversify its array of services to cater to needs of medicos
and medical device manufacturing units, Curofy, a leading mobile based
networking platform for practising doctors, has launched Medical Device
Marketplace on its digital platform.
The medical device
marketplace platform connecting medical device
manufacturers/distributors with prospective buyers (doctors) has been
launched by Curofy at Medicall 2016, India's premier B2B medical
equipment show to be held in Chennai from July 22-24. With the launch of
platform at Medicall, Curofy hoped to make early inroads in the
industry.
The medical device marketplace, called as 'Curofy for
devices' allows medical device distributors and manufacturers to connect
directly with the doctors and fulfill orders. The process is very easy
to comprehend. The doctors can send queries via Curofy mobile app, the
distributors can then bid for the query. The doctors can accept or
reject the bid as per their choice. On acceptance of a bid, the seller
is charged a nominal amount for the successful lead, and the contact
details of the user are forwarded to the seller, said Mudit
Vijayvergiya, co-founder, Curofy.
The platform is a boon for the
doctors in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. This is Curofy's second web product
besides their recruitment platform that was launched a few days ago.
With
this, Curofy is moving one step ahead to engage directly with the
industry and is very much in line with the mission of making lives of
the doctors easier and more efficient. It is indeed true that healthcare
delivery today, is still geographically biased with the metros and tier
1 cities taking the majority of the share. There is not only dearth in
the number of trained personnel but also the absence of modern
facilities has put a huge dent in the healthcare system in the smaller
towns and rural areas. Hence this new platform, Curofy has launched,
will help equip rural healthcare facilities with modern equipments.
"Think
of a day when you can get the best treatment at the Sonipats, the
Shamlis and the Midnapores of the country," says Pawan Gupta, co-founder
of Curofy. If Curofy can achieve what they are promising, they can
truly disrupt the healthcare space in the country. And who knows, maybe
even worldwide.
Curofy gets almost 700 signups every day and
almost 250 case discussions which translates to 1 doctor signing up
every 2 minutes on its mobile app each day. More than 1,00,000 doctors
are currently registered on the app spending 30,00,000 minutes every
month. Curofy aims to register 3 lakh doctors on its platform by 2018.
