LAHORE: Ailaaj, Pakistan’s first full-stack digital healthcare platform which is offering end-to-end patient care services, Wednesday announced raising $1.6 million in its seed round. Needless to say that Pakistan’s current healthcare ecosystem is fragmented with numerous different service providers that often leave gaps in patient care. Both startups were incubated by the Fazaldin Group which owns the very well-known Fazal Din and Sons retail pharmacy chain and is a pioneer in Pakistan’s healthcare sector for over 70 years. The Fazal Din Group, now in its fourth generation, is carrying on the family tradition of modernizing the country’s healthcare services by advancing the digital healthcare sector currently operating in silos by building Ailaaj as a full-stack digital healthcare platform in Pakistan. Earlier, startups Sehat Kahani and Dawaai.pk said that their startups had raised $1.5 million and $8.5 million respectively.
