Family Doctor to open 300 clinics for primary healthcare

 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.
