Coimbatore, Jun 5: Health Basix has successfully closed a funding round led by Dr. GSK Velu and Callapina Capital, enabling it to spread across 30 cities in 8 Indian states.
Health Basix, a leading provider of comprehensive healthcare services in schools, is thrilled to announce the successful closure of its bridge funding round. This significant milestone not only enables Health Basix to extend its reach across 30 cities in 8 Indian states but also reinforces its commitment to improving the health and well-being of students. With a focus on Pediatric EMR, School Clinics, Counseling, Health Assessments, and Special Education Services, Health Basix aims to ensure that every child has access to quality healthcare within their school environment. The round was led by Dr. GSK Velu, an esteemed healthcare luminary (Neuburg Diagnostics, Trivitron, Maxi Vision, Apollo Dental) and Callapina Capital, along with the participation of Sapphire Ink Ventures, and Super Morpheus.
“I am excited to invest in Health Basix and support their mission to revolutionize healthcare access, particularly in the field of pediatric care. Ensuring the well-being of children is of utmost importance, and I believe that Health Basix’s innovative approach will bridge gaps in accessibility, affordability, and quality of care for young patients. Swathy’s passion, expertise, and dedication to transforming pediatric care make her an exceptional leader in the healthcare industry. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the health and future of children worldwide,” Dr. GSK Velu.
“One of the biggest challenges in healthcare is that we do not have a continuous record of our health. We have bits and pieces of information which are scattered and it ends up being a very transactional experience with healthcare providers. Healthbasix is solving this with a digital health passport and building the largest nationwide healthcare provider for schools in India. To pull this off, you need a founder who’s truly passionate about providing the necessary care, has a deep understanding of the pain points, and has healthcare operating experience – and for this reason, we are excited to back Swathy and team!” Callapina Capital.
