The startup registered 5x growth amid Covid-19 pandemic
Hyderabad, NFAPost: The coronavirus pandemic had forced a strict lockdown and with the virus spreading thick and fast, accessibility to quality healthcare became a challenge for many. DoctorC, a MedTech startup in the diagnostic service delivery, is playing an important role in this space.
While the government initially took the onus on themselves to test and treat people infected with coronavirus, the advent of private players to assist the government and the people were timely.
With a host of private testing services available, the common man’s options increased. In the forefront of the fight against the dreaded disease, DoctorC, a Hyderabad-based tech-first healthcare provider, has been making waves by helping people get access to tests and treatments in a timely manner.
