Doxper may be acquired by a new health care startup

Expected to acquire the whole of Doxper:-

The healthcare sector suffered a lot during the COVID 19 pandemic time. The whole healthcare system of the country was exposed and it had crippled. The country was in chaos, with no hospital beds available, with patients dying because of lack of medication and most importantly there was no oxygen available.

People were dying because of the lack of proper treatment. The healthcare system as learned now needs an up-gradation, needs to be developed and fully equipped with technology. If any such pandemic comes up again, and the health system remains the same, the country will not be able to handle the situation. India’s healthcare system can be quoted as the “Outdated”, and the world has moved far ahead. 

Many healthcare startups are coming up in the country and news of their funding, acquisitions, mergers are coming up. The news of another healthcare startup has been in the light. The startup working in the healthcare sector Meddo is expected to announce that it will be acquiring another firm in the same sector- Doxper. The formal announcement has yet to be made but some people who are close to the organisations have told this as of July 12, 2021. 

Meddo is expected to acquire the whole of Doxper, according to the person who is close to the company. The talks of the acquisitions are at an advanced stage according to the source which is close to the company. This news has come to post the funding which it received one week ago of USD 6 million in its pre-series round of funding. The investors of the round were SRI Capital, Picus Capital, and Alkemi Capital.
