The three components of the companies healthcare facility to be launched in Brazil include Practo Search, a provider of highest quality doctor listings, Practo Ray,a cloud-based practice management solution of choice used by doctors and clinics around the world and its award winning smartphone applications, a service that ensures that patients have the best possible healthcare experience on-the-go.

Practo Search , immediately, is going to cover over 5500 doctors and half the clinics of the city. The service would enable consumers to search through a verified database of doctors and find the right one. The doctor being looked for can be found by name, specialisation and even symptoms. Practo Search would enlists doctors on panel for free and disperses services to the consumer without a charge, as well. The doctors listed by Practo Search in Sau Paulo would be those who are individually verified in terms of experience, qualification, affiliations and specialization.

It would also help create digital health records and prescriptions so that consumers always have their healthcare history available to them.
