CliniDo allows patients to pay for health services in installments

Egypt-based healthcare platform CliniDo has introduced a new service to revolutionize patient access to medical services. By offering the ability to pay for surgeries and medical care in installments, CliniDo aims to make healthcare more affordable and accessible.

Dr. Mina Shawky, CEO of CliniDo, shared the vision behind this innovation: "CliniDo is redefining healthcare services by making them accessible to everyone at affordable prices, with plans specifically designed to meet each patient's needs."

How does it work?

CliniDo's platform allows patients to book medical services and surgeries across various specialties and benefit from flexible payment plans ranging from 3 to 60 months. This is made possible through partnerships with major banks and consumer finance institutions such as Fawry, Souhoola, and B.TECH Finance. Patients can browse a wide selection of doctors and hospitals, schedule appointments, and even opt for at-home lab tests or consultations via voice and video-all within a user-friendly app.

A standout feature is the use of AI to customize medical articles for patients based on their health conditions, enhancing their understanding and overall care journey.

Why does it matter?

Access to affordable healthcare remains a challenge for many. By introducing installment-based payment options, CliniDo addresses financial barriers preventing patients from seeking timely medical intervention. This service supports patients in managing healthcare costs without compromising on quality.

Dr. Shawky highlighted the broader impact: "CliniDo enhances direct communication between patients and top doctors while offering flexible installment plans... making high-quality healthcare services available to all."

Furthermore, CliniDo empowers patients by offering tools such as reviews, ratings, and voice search to ensure they make informed decisions. Its diverse services — including in-person appointments, telemedicine, and home visits — cater to a broad range of needs, making healthcare more personalized and accessible.

The context

Founded in 2020 by Wael Soliman, Mina Shawky, and Haitham Essam - CliniDo has rapidly grown into a trusted healthcare provider, serving over half a million patients and connecting them with more than 11,000 doctors. The company's innovative approach aligns with global trends in digital health and consumer-centric healthcare.

As CliniDo looks to expand its footprint in the MENA region, its commitment to affordability and accessibility sets a new benchmark in healthcare delivery. The platform's ability to bridge the gap between patients and providers, coupled with its financial flexibility, reflects a vision of healthcare that prioritizes inclusivity and innovation.
