An increase in people's income means an increase in the demand for high-quality health care services. However, the lack of medical information & assistive technology makes it difficult for the medical industry to develop.
Vietnam has no shortage of healthcare services, with more than 30,000 healthcare providers when counting private clinics alone. However, patients and service providers both because of limited information and poor quality of medical care from intermediaries. It is difficult for patients to compare doctors by price, location, quality and service, not to mention that booking an appointment is not yet common. The result is frustration for the patient.

Service providers burn money on communications and administration trying to reach patients and manage appointments…

The Docosan platform allows patients to view, search for healthcare and book appointments at the touch of a button. For healthcare professionals, Docosan offers patients easy appointment booking.
