Digital healthcare platform Practo has launched its services in the UAE. Over 31,000 doctors and 3,000 healthcare facilities are already available on the platform. The company said that
users in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah can now discover and book appointments with verified doctors and access thousands of patient reviews to make informed healthcare decisions.
“Practo’s expansion strategy reflects our commitment to making Indian healthcare innovations accessible globally," said Shashank ND, Co-founder & CEO, Practo. “Following our achievement of
profitability in FY24 and sustained performance with positive cash flows in FY25, we are excited to extend Practo's reach in the UAE. The initial response in the UAE has been encouraging,
and we appreciate the confidence placed in us by both healthcare providers and patients. This is just the beginning as we scale our efforts to improve healthcare outcomes worldwide.”
Some of the early clinics and hospitals partnering with Practo.com include e-Kaya Skin Clinic, Sulaiman Habib Hospital and Clinics, Micris Dental, Smile on Dental Clinic and Quintinha
hospitals.
"As healthcare continues to become more connected across borders, we believe this platform will offer patients an easier, more transparent way to find and connect with quality providers. We
are pleased to be among the early adopters, supporting greater access to trusted healthcare for our communities", Mohammad Ahmed, Head of Marketing, Sulaiman Habib Hospital said.
While Practo’s direct to consumer service is new to UAE, the company has been present in UAE for over a decade through Insta by Practo, its hospital management software that powers
operations at leading healthcare institutions across the region, including Life Medical Center, Emirates Hospital, and Healthcare Organisation UAE. Over 50,000 monthly users are already
accessing Practo’s platform in the UAE, the company said.
With many users travelling between India and the Gulf for medical or personal reasons, Practo’s cross-border presence now enables seamless continuity of care. The platform allows UAE-based
users to access leading Indian providers, and vice versa, supporting patients across both geographies with trusted, connected healthcare. Patients can search not just by specialty, but also
by symptoms, specific surgeries, and treatment options - making it easier to find the right care quickly and confidently, the company claims.
