🧐  Why it matters

With tons of doctor and telehealth-focused startups (and few for pharma), it's easy to forget pharmacies are also key to public health and better healthcare outcomes. It's time to digitize and optimize them!

• People rely on pharmacies for fast and reliable health advice and access to much-needed medicine.

Many pharmacies in SEA are small mom-and-pop shops. They're fragmented and operate independently of each other.

• This can make it difficult to manage and grow operations.
• Medicine can be costlier and hard to source, and deliveries can take ages.
