Holistic primary healthcare at affordable cost will be provided through a chain
of clinics in select cities across the country, to be set up by the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB)- funded venture
Modern Family Doctor (MFD).
They plan to open about 300 outlets pan-India during the next three years
for taking healthcare to a patient's doorstep. About 50 outlets will be set up
in Pune, Chennai and New Delhi this year on the lines of a dozen others in
Bangalore.
With Rs.10-crore seed capital from SVB, a California bank subsidiary headed by
non-resident Indian (NRI) Ash Lilani, MFD has unveiled
11 outlets across this technology hub in a pilot phase during the past year
under the brand name "Family Doctor".
As a primary healthcare centre, each clinic offers consulting, diagnostics,
treatment and medication, all under one roof
MFD has also tied up with Lal Pathlabs to provide laboratory investigation
support, and with Narayana Hridayalaya for on-line ECG (electro-cardiogram)
services to all its clinics.
