GLAMYO HEALTH: THE NEW FACE FOR SURGICAL CARE

April 30, 2022

Glamyo Health is an integrated platform that offers quality healthcare services & technology at affordable prices.

In the world of medicine, there are various levels of care that are usually determined by the level of complexity of the medical cases treated by doctors as well as the providers’ skills and specialities. The different levels of medical care are as follows:

Primary Care
Secondary Care
Tertiary Care
Quaternary Care

In this article, we’ll learn about one of the healthcare platforms that are on the cutting edge of developing Secondary Medical Care Surgery for patients all over India. Secondary Care means that our doctor has delegated our care to someone more knowledgeable about the health issue at hand. As a result, let’s take a look at what this healthcare organisation has to offer patients in terms of medicine and surgical care.

GLAMYO: What and Why?

Let us start by understanding what GLAMYO is and what does it stands for? Glamyo Health is a healthcare brand founded in January 2020, by Archit Garg and DrPreet Pal Thakur that is operating in the fields of elective and cosmetic surgeries, with a chain of hospitals and clinics with recent funding of $3.2M according to crunch-base. They have served more than 45000+ patients successfully. The brand specialises in minimally invasive elective and cosmetic surgeries, including Laser proctology treatments, Laparoscopic surgeries, and Circumcision. Glamyo Health is now moving into the orthopaedic surgery field with the availability of an integrated synergy between the healthcare system and infrastructure. With a focus on patient-centred surgeries, Glamyo Health aims to create a streamlined process that is convenient, fast, and efficient.

After the lockdown was lifted in recent months, Glamyo Health is now re-allowing access to surgical operations in the following 10 cities: Delhi, Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Gurgaon & Kolkata; by highly qualified surgeons who specialise in a range of disease categories and minimally invasive elective and cosmetic surgeries. This includes Laser proctology treatments, Laparoscopic surgeries, urology, Circumcision and many more. Hence, Glamyo has always been focused on providing advanced-level treatment for over 30 Heath issues to their patients at a very affordable cost.

Mr Archit Garg, Co-Founder, Glamyo Health commented, “Glamyo Health has grown to serve more than 4,000 patients and has arranged to finance for 100,000 patients. It plans to expand to 45 cities and arrange to finance worth 100 million USD over the next two years. Its asset-light model has enabled it to rapidly increase its number of locations beyond that of some well-known hospital chains, and it plans to reach 500 locations by end of the year.”

Dr Preet Pal Thakur, Co-Founder of Glamyo Health, said that his company is disrupting the elective surgery space and will solve three perennial problems: affordability, accessibility, and quality healthcare in India. Over the next 12 months, Glamyo Health will reach 45 cities in India and provide cutting-edge laser treatments to make surgery affordable for everyone. The company will also reach out to 1 million people across India and facilitate healthcare financing worth INR 100 crore in its first year. In addition, the company will work with 600 highly-experienced surgeons and doctors providing compassionate quality care to 500+ high-quality hospitals in every nook and corner of India.

In India, the secondary care surgeries market is a $20 billion industry projected to grow to $30 billion by 2027. The major segments include proctology, urology, laparoscopy, ophthalmology, cosmetic, dental, and others. There are about 44,000 private hospitals in India: 10 per cent of these are in the organized sector and mainly centred around Tier 1 metropolitan cities (Delhi NCR region), thus denying people in Tier 2 & 3 towns from accessing quality healthcare. Glamyo Health follows a unique model where it provides personalized attention to each patient through its team of medical coordinators. The coordinator team handholds the patient throughout the surgical journey “admission to discharge.”

Conclusion:

As we’ve seen in this article, Secondary Medical Care Surgery is a type of surgical care that involves delegating our medical care to someone with more expertise than we have. Though there are many other hospitals and clinics in India that are providing Secondary Care Surgery, Glamyo Health offers a unique and specialised experience for patients in India. As we’ve seen, Glamyo Health is a healthcare brand that has been focused on improving access to secondary care facilities for patients in India.

In conclusion, Glamyo Health is a great example of how a secondary medical care surgery can help patients all over India in need of this type of healthcare.
