Practo verifies and lists doctors for free and does not charge consumers or doctors to find, book, or receive appointments.
 
Practo Ray is tightly integrated with its consumer offering, Practo Search. Practo Ray will be available as an annual subscription starting at RM300 a month, the company said.
 
“Practo Ray and Practo Search come together to create the world’s first healthcare hyperloop, connecting the entire healthcare ecosystem and helping consumers make better healthcare decisions,” said founder and chief executive officer Shashank ND.
 
“Our goal is to provide a platform where our offerings work seamlessly together to deliver the best experience for all users,” he added.
 
In the next few months, Practo will expand to surrounding areas including Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Puchong, Klang, and Seremban, and also plans to be present in northern Malaysia including Georgetown, Ipoh, Taiping, and Alor Setar.
 
Additionally, Practo will introduce more healthcare products across wellness, fitness, preventive, and curative medicine in Malaysia.
 
All of Practo’s products will be available on the Web as well as on the free Practo mobile app available for Android and iOS devices.
 
Practo currently has a 15-member launch team in Kuala Lumpur which will expand as it widens its footprint across the country, the company said in its statement.
