Air Doctor has secured $7.8 million in Series A funding to enhance its platform connecting travelers with local doctors, driven by a need for accessible medical care abroad.

Target Information

Air Doctor is a health tech startup founded in 2016 that provides a platform connecting travelers with local physicians for non-emergency medical care. The service is available in 42 countries across five continents, enabling users to search for doctors based on location, language, specialty, and cost. The concept arose from the founders' personal experiences with healthcare challenges while traveling, particularly the difficulties of accessing care in a foreign language.
