Macau's Dr Stanley Ho Family Invested into BookDoc

BookDoc welcomes the member of Dr. Stanley Ho's family as its latest strategic investor after Prince Abdul Qawi, of the Brunei Royal family, who invested in BookDoc barely a year ago. The latest undisclosed investment values BookDoc at double-digit USD millions, and adds to its growing list of backers who bring along with them deep cross-border business networks and valuable multi-disciplinary experience from entrepreneurship, healthcare and IT to banking and insurance. 

"We are really fortunate to have such illustrious strategic investors who can offer great insights into the unique business environment that BookDoc is operating in. We offer solutions at the confluence of healthcare and IT, and yet the potential business applications extend as far as HR, insurance and even retail. This is why these experienced individuals who hail from various business verticals with deep know-how on doing business in Asia are vital to BookDoc. It will help us penetrate markets faster and more effectively," explained Dato' Chevy Beh, Founder and CEO of BookDoc.

Since its inception in October 2015, in less than 18 months, BookDoc has expanded its presence from Malaysia to Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand. It has launched an integrated online ecosystem for health travellers, local and abroad, to search for and book appointments with healthcare professionals. The system integrates seamlessly with Uber, Grab, AirAsia, Agoda and TripAdvisor, and is the official partner of Social Security Malaysia, Foreign Workers' Medical Examination Malaysia (FOMEMA), and the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia. In addition, it launched BookDoc Activ, the latest module which rewards users for maintaining a high level of activity, and successfully partnered with more than 40 major retailers and service providers in 12 countries within 3 months of its launch.

BookDoc was honoured with Frost & Sullivan's 2016 Innovation Excellence Award in the Mobile Healthcare Technology Market in South East Asia. 

"With additional funding, we will be in a stronger position to expand regionally in South East Asia, roll out more products and features targeting the B2B market, and form strategic partnerships in the region. It is more important to get it right than to rush into any opportunities that arise," added Chevy Beh on the strategic direction of BookDoc moving forward.
