Healthtech start-up Hospals expects $300-mn forex revenue for hospitals

NEW DELHI: Healthtech start-up Hospals expects to generate $300 million in revenue for hospitals with over 50,000 international patients in the next three years.

The start-up, which provides surgery consultancy supports in key markets, including India, UAE, Turkey and South East Asia, has launched a tech-enabled promotion platform for hospitals and expects it to attract 50,000 international patients.

It noted that with ease in travel restrictions and skies opening up for foreign patients, hospitals have again started regaining on the $9 billion medical travel business in countries like India.

"Most of the flights coming from the Middle East, Africa and neighbouring Bangladesh are either completely, or mostly, filled with patients and their attendants, which highlights the huge demand for Indian healthcare despite rising COVID numbers," the company said in a statement. Start-ups, including Hospals, are ramping up to virtualise hospital marketing across the globe. (IANS)
