Doctor Raksa is a telehealth platform founded in 2016 by Jaren Siew and Piyada Donchalermpak in Bangkok, Thailand. The company provides users with access to medical consultations via chat, phone, or video call with a network of over 700 doctors. The platform covers a wide range of common ailments and specialized areas such as pediatrics, dermatology, and gynecology.
Key services include online doctor consultations, electronic prescriptions, medical summaries, and pharmacist consultations. The platform also features an online pharmacy for medications and personal care items, offering delivery within an hour in the Bangkok metropolitan area and next-day delivery to other provinces. Doctor Raksa primarily operates on a business-to-consumer (B2C) model, aiming to provide affordable and convenient healthcare.
In November 2021, Doctor Raksa was acquired by Doctor Anywhere, a major Singapore-based health-tech company, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition was a strategic move to combine strengths and meet the growing demand for telehealth in Thailand, adding Doctor Raksa's 1 million users to Doctor Anywhere's existing 1.5 million. Following the acquisition, both platforms retained their core functions while sharing resources to enhance services and expand medication delivery to more provinces across Thailand. The deal made the merged entity the largest telemedicine platform in the country.
