Udok started in 2018 as online doctor consultations. Today it connects 300+ practices, 3'000 pharmacies and 200'000 patients. Patients pay a flat R365 to see a doctor online or in person, with medical aid accepted. Doctors pay a few hundred rand a month to run a practice that would normally cost R1m to R2m to set up, and Standard Bank now offers it free to its healthcare clients. See how Udok grew 14x.
