Healthcare app Practo enters Brazil

Healthcare app Practo is spreading its wings. After entering the Southeast Asian markets such as Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia, the company has now forayed into Brazil, the largest market in Latin America and the fifth largest economy in the world.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to serve millions of consumers in Brazil and simplify healthcare experience for doctors and consumers simultaneously. Over the next few months we will expand our coverage and product lines to enable consumers to make better healthcare decisions and live healthier lives”, said Shashank ND, Founder and CEO, Practo.

Initially, the company will launch two of its most popular products—Practo Search and Practo Ray in Sao Paulo. The products will be available in both Portugese and English in a bid to ensure easy access to the products by both the consumers and doctors.

Practo also plans to expand its consumer offering to other healthcare segments such as wellness, fitness, preventive and curative segments. Currently, the healthcare app is being used in 15 countries and over 50 cities across the globe. At present, the app lists over 200,000 doctors, 10,000 hospitals, 8000 diagnostic centers and over 4000 wellness centers globally and receives over 10M searches a month across its website and apps.
