As we all witnessed during the Coronavirus pandemic, the vital role that the healthcare sector plays, which is one of the most important sectors in our societies, so we are pleased to invest in a national startup company that provides excellence and is the first of its kind in the Kingdom.
This investment adds to our strategy in supporting innovation and commitment to supporting companies that create jobs in the healthcare sector.
Mad’a Investments, through Clinicy’s latest funding round, confirms that it is moving forward with its strategic investments and commitment to supporting the healthcare sector, supporting the employment of 121 health professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Clinicy began the research and development efforts over a period of 24 months, to identify the 3 most important operational challenges facing healthcare facilities, namely: Patient No-Show (Missing appointments), high administrative costs of operation, and difficulty communicating with patients.
The rate of no-show by local patients is 30%, which costs more than 2.2 billion Saudi riyals or 600 million US dollars annually.
Clinicy addresses each of these challenges through an innovative technical model that contributes to providing digital solutions to medical facilities by automating operational services, and this model has achieved success at the level of subscribers from medical facilities, including reducing no-show rates by up to 40%, and automating 61 % of communication with patients via the digital health communication platform, and a reduction of more than 30% in the daily tasks of the call center, reception staff, and coordinators in healthcare facilities.
