Halodoc is a digital healthcare platform that includes a mobile app and website 
allowing customers across Indonesia to have live consultations with more than 
20,000 licensed doctors in the country, anytime, anywhere. Its platform usage 
grew by 2500% in 2018, demonstrating robust demand for healthcare convenience. 
Customers can order lab tests to be carried out in their home and use the app 
to order medication from 1,300 participating pharmacies, which can be delivered 
within an hour.

Halodoc has teamed with more than 1,400 hospitals and healthcare providers in a 
nationwide partnership to improve the hospital visit experience. The 
partnership provides customers with shortened wait times at the pharmacy post 
appointment and a cashless hospital visit through linking of insurance 
benefits. Halodoc will use the new funds to perfect the online to offline 
healthcare experience with hospitals and insurance partners as its roll-out 
continues in 2019. 

Halodoc was named "Most Innovative Start-up in Asia in November 2018" by Galen 
Growth Asia, an organisation that monitors the healthcare start-up ecosystem in 
Asia Pacific.

Jonathan Sudharta, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Halodoc, said, "Today, 
we provide two million customers with convenient and reliable healthcare 
services monthly, of which half reside outside Java. There is a huge potential 
for technology to extend the reach of conventional healthcare, providing better 
access for the archipelago's large population. The strategic investments and 
partnerships will enable us to accelerate our efforts in building a platform 
that improves access and convenience to millions of Indonesian customers."

Kian-Wee Seah, Managing Director and CEO, UOB Venture Management, said, 
"Halodoc's vision is to use technology to make quality healthcare more 
accessible for everyone and to optimize finite healthcare resources in a vast 
country such as Indonesia. This investment in Halodoc is a reflection of our 
responsible investing approach to support economic and social development."

Halodoc has worked closely with its existing investors, Openspace Ventures, 
Clermont Group, Blibli.com and InvestIdea who share a similar vision for the 
future of healthcare. Whilst Halodoc's strategic partner GOJEK Group, continues 
its commitment to Halodoc's success. Andre Soelistyo, President GOJEK said, "At 
GOJEK, we focus relentlessly on solving problems and making life better for 
people throughout Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Halodoc very much shares this 
ethos, which is why the company was one of our earliest ecosystem partners. We 
worked together to create GO-MED, through which Halodoc's services are made 
available to millions of our users through the GOJEK app. We are proud to 
support the company and its management team and look forward to deepening the 
integration between our two platforms."
