Arogya Finance, a social healthcare venture based is tying- up with various doctors and hospitals for
bariatric surgeries and joints treatments.
“Unexpected healthcare expenses have led to over 40 million people to fall into poverty every year due to heavy expenses incurred for numerous treatments. Arogya Finance has initiated tie-ups with various doctors and hospitals to make medical loans available to patients at the right time and place in different parts of India. We are already in talks with many hospitals, pharma companies and major doctors across India to provide a one-stop financial solution wherever there is an unforeseen medical emergency,” said Jose Peter, co-founder and CEO of Arogya Finance.
“This endeavor would go a long way in helping needy patients struggling with the scourge of type 2 diabetes as a result of morbid obesity. Metabolic surgery is still not approved by most insurance companies and the disposable cost of staplers and devices makes this surgery expensive for the common man. The Arogya Finance scheme gives patients hope at living a disease free life,” said Dr Muffazal Lakdawala, founder and director, Centre for Obesity and Digestive Surgery (CODS).
Arogya Finance does not require collaterals or formal income proof which is mandatory. The borrowers can repay the loans in EMIs of up to 36 months.
