▲全球视野 本土思考
Hospals声称是亚洲最大的医疗旅行平台之一，正在寻求走向全球，并在三年内每年从50,000名患者中产生3亿美元的收入。报告指出，传统上前往新加坡或德国旅行的患者正转移到阿联酋和印度，并且更喜欢与Hospals等品牌合作，获得有关外科手术和先进治疗的指导。
为了支持印度，阿联酋，土耳其和东南亚等主要市场的医疗旅游，外科咨询初创公司Hospals为医院推出了技术支持的推广平台。
该平台使医院可以与遍及世界各地的Hospals手术顾问互联互通，他们可以指导各自国家的患者选择适合其医疗需求的医院品牌。
人工智能解决方案使顾问能够找到最适合的能进行700多种手术的医院，并与这些医院联系以进行查询和报价。通过为咨询师和患者提供的一套多语言应用程序，该公司声称能够让医院扩大与全球各地患者接触的广度和深度。
八年前，丹麦人艾哈迈德(Danish Ahmed)在印度创立了Hospals，该公司拥有一个由外科医生组成的技术网络，遍及印度各地，不久还会扩展到中东、孟加拉国和许多非洲国家。
这家初创公司的目标是加强印度的医疗旅游，并通过提供营销和推广平台，使医院无缝地与寻求医疗帮助的外国患者接触。
Hospals自称是亚洲最大的医疗旅行公司之一，每年为来自38个国家的6000名患者提供服务，这些患者在印度接受Hospals提供的62家上市医院中治疗。Hospals也在印度医院附近经营病人招待所。
它正在创建一个外科顾问网络，以帮助世界各地的患者，根据他们的医疗需求、地点和预算，帮助他们找到亚洲最好的外科医生。
由于处理大量查询的成本高昂，而占用率极低，许多此类平台已推出，但许多已倒闭。
许多类似的医疗和保险平台已经推出，但要么停止交易，要么低调继续运营;它们都倾向于在人员、技术和营销上烧钱。
在2018年，Hospers筹集了Rest. 10 cores(150万美元)。由日本风投Venture Catalysts和Spiral Ventures牵头的一轮融资。
一个重要的目标是到2023年将每年的数量从6,000家增加到50,000家。尽管许多印度医院将向代理机构支付高额费用，但在许多国家，它们要么只支付少量费用，要么不支付任何费用。＊
AMBITIOUS PLANS FOR INDIAN MEDICAL TRAVEL PLATFORM
Hospals, claimed to be one of the largest medical travel platforms in Asia, is seeking to go global and generate US$300 million in revenue from 50,000 patients a year within three years. It states that patients who traditionally travelled to Singapore or Germany are moving to UAE and India, and prefer engaging with brands like Hospals for guidance on surgeries and advanced treatments.
To support medical tourism in key markets including India, UAE, Turkey and South East Asia, surgery consultancy start-up, Hospals, has launched a tech-enabled promotion platform for hospitals.
The platform enables hospitals to connect with Hospals Surgery Consultants across the world who are guiding patients from their respective countries in choosing the right hospital brand for their healthcare needs.
AI solutions enable consultants to find the most suitable hospitals for over 700 surgeries, and engage with these hospitals for queries and quotes. With a suite of multi-lingual apps for consultants and patients, it claims to enable hospitals to increase their reach and depth of patient engagement across the globe.
Launched eight years ago by Danish Ahmed in India, Hospals has a tech-enabled network of surgery consultants across India, and soon, the Middle East, Bangladesh and many African countries.
The start-up is aiming high to strengthen India’s medical tourism and enable hospitals to seamlessly reach out to foreign patients seeking medical help by offering a marketing and promotion platform.
Hospals claims to be one of Asia's largest medical travel companies, serving 6,000 patients every year from 38 countries who seek treatment in India, at one of 62 listed hospitals. Hospals also runs patient guesthouses near to Indian hospitals.
It is creating a network of surgery consultants to help patients around the world, by helping them in finding the best surgeons in Asia, based on their medical needs, location and budget.
Many such platforms have launched and many have gone out of business due to the high cost of dealing with many enquiries with a very low take up rate. Many similar medical and insurance platforms have launched, and either ceased trading or continued in a very low-key way; all tend to burn through large amounts of money on personnel, tech, and marketing.
In 2018, Hospers raised Rest. 10 cores (US$1.5 million) from a funding round led by Japan based Venture Catalysts and Spiral Ventures.
It is a significant target to increase numbers from 6,000 a year to 50,000 by 2023. While many Indian hospitals will pay large fees to agencies, in many countries they will either pay a small fee only or nothing.
