Alodokter is the leading health platform in Indonesia with over 20 million 
monthly active users on its platform, making it one of the most trusted 
healthtech services in the world. "Indonesia's medical system has been going 
through massive changes over the last 10 years and is keener to embrace digital 
innovation than more mature markets. Indonesia is becoming one of the first 
digitally native medical systems in the world. That's been one of the key 
factors for the hypergrowth we have been experiencing since our launch" says 
CEO Nathanael Faibis. 

Patients today use Alodokter to chat with doctors, book appointments, discover 
personalized content and manage their health insurance. Alodokter is working 
with a trusted network of 20,000 doctors and 1,000 hospitals and clinics. 
"Finding the right medical information, the right doctor and the right 
financial solution can be overwhelming for families all over Indonesia. I am 
the typical user of Alodokter as a mother of two young kids, but limited 
medical knowledge. Alodokter changed my life when it comes to managing my 
family's health. We want to be the guardian angel of all Indonesian families" 
says Suci Arumsari, co-founder of Alodokter. 

New health insurance grows rapidly as Alodokter harnesses ecosystem 

Alodokter will use the funds to expand its hospital network integration and to 
further develop its cutting-edge health insurance service. In 2018, the company 
launched a health insurance called "Alodokter Protection". Policyholders can 
subscribe, pay and claim directly in the app. They can also access a suite of 
premium services, such as unlimited online consultations and premium access to 
hospitals. The company is building the "insurance of the 21st century", which 
not only provides financial protection but also guides patients in their 
medical journey towards the right medical solutions. 

Indonesia's private health insurance market remains largely untapped with a 
penetration of less than 2%, 10 times lower than its neighbour Malaysia. Most 
Indonesian middle-class families are still at a high risk of bankruptcy because 
of unexpected medical bills. Insurance sales have skyrocketed 15x over the last 
6 months as users discover Alodokter's simple and affordable insurance 
products. 

"In addition to their user base, we are impressed by their strong medical DNA 
and their crystal clear vision of providing an end-to-end solution for 
patients. Alodokter is becoming a cornerstone of Indonesia's healthcare system 
and we are proud to be part of their journey. 

Together we will be one step closer to achieving our goal to uncover new 
technologies and processes as well as Indonesia untapped market segments and 
customers," said Tatang Widjaja, President Director and CEO Sequis Life.
