Tabib Baghdad

Tabib Baghdad is a health-tech company founded in 2018 by Dr. Ali Alkhazaj, a dentist by profession, to address the challenge of finding specialized doctors in Iraq. The company operates an online platform and mobile app that connects patients with doctors across different medical specialties for booking appointments. Initially launched to serve Baghdad, the firm has since aimed to expand its operations to cover the rest of Iraq.

The platform's primary feature is a doctor directory that allows users to find appropriate medical specialists and schedule appointments. A key component of the service is a review and rating system, designed to build trust between patients and doctors by allowing users to rate their experience after a visit. This system addresses the local reliance on word-of-mouth recommendations for finding healthcare providers. In addition to appointment bookings, the company has explored telemedicine and facilitating referrals for treatment in other countries.

In November 2020, Tabib Baghdad secured a six-figure seed funding round through the Iraqi Angel Investors Network, which was led by KAPITA and Nass Al Iraq. This funding was supplemented by a $20,000 grant from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The investment was intended to optimize the platform's backend technology and support national expansion. Tabib Baghdad is also a graduate of the ScaleUp Academy, an accelerator program run by KAPITA. An article from March 2022 mentioned that Tabib Baghdad was previously known as Razi.
