The app also enables doctors seek opinions from other fellow doctors, apply for jobs and read latest medical news. The company claims to have about 10,000 registered doctors across 70 cities on its platform and is currently available on Android and iOSplatforms.

Curofy customers include super-specialists and premium hospitals like Medanta, Apollo, Max and Saket City. -In the rapidly evolving and complex field of medicine, there is a strong need for collaboration among doctors in order to coordinate patient care.
