Pakistan’s digital healthcare industry has seen rampant growth during the pandemic. Previously Pakistan had approximately one doctor catering to every 1300 people. The pandemic further restricted access to quality healthcare services because of government-imposed lockdowns. Oladoc is one of the players which aims to provide Pakistan’s growing population of 220 million access to qualified doctors from the comfort of their homes. Apart from being a doctor booking platform, Oladoc has also introduced lab test bookings. It has served over 15 million patients through its network of 25000+ PMC verified doctors, across 100+ specialties. It aims to make healthcare in Pakistan accessible, affordable, and transparent for all.

Abid studied at LUMS and did his MBA from Concordia (Canada); he has previously worked at Nestle and Coca-Cola.
