The company is looking beyond the metro cities and bringing high quality healthcare services to tier 2 and tier 3 cities by aggressively expanding its existing provider network, subscriber base and channel partners, thus making vHealth a one stop platform to access all primary & preventive care services from the comfort of home.
Talking about the company’s venture in the four western states, Mr. AnuragKhosla, CEO, vHealth by Aetna said, “Western India continues to be an important market for us. Our healthcare coverage in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Goa and Gujarat has been promising so far with over 8 lakh subscribers and 1000+ provider centers. Our ability to provide doctor services 24*7 and in vernacular languages has been one of the key enablers of our success in these states.

Additionally, vHealth is building a robust network of top healthcare providers in West India, includingtrusted diagnostics partners like Tata 1mg, Thyrocareetc.; leading offline pharmacy chains such as Easy medico, Apollo Pharmacyand other online pharmacies for doorstep medicine delivery; top hospitals for OPD services like PD Hinduja, Currae Hospital,Reliance Hospital, MGM New Bombay Hospitaletc. anddental chains like Clove Dental, to name a few.
We are now working to expand our roots into tier 2 and 3 cities to enhance healthcare penetration in rural areas, and have so far organized 2000+ health camps in such locationssince the start of the pandemic, facilitating more than2.5 lakh health checkups and doctor consultations. Considering the majority of Indians live in smaller towns andrural areas, I believe that making quality healthcare available in these places will be the real enabler of a healthcare revolution in India.”
