Indonesian healthtech platform Alodokter has raised US$5.2 million, the company confirmed to Tech in Asia. This adds to a US$6 million injection from Optima Health last year.

The fresh funds came courtesy of Korean automotive manufacturer HL Mando and Beacon Venture Capital, the corporate VC unit of Thailand’s Kasikornbank. Alodokter declined to disclose its valuation, though Alternatives.pe pegs it at US$136.1 million.

The healthtech startup plans to further develop its digital healthcare ecosystem for its 25 million monthly active users, it said.

Founded in 2014 by Nathanael Faibis and Suci Arumsari, Alodokter offers an array of healthcare services, including online doctor consultations, in-person appointment booking, and informative articles on health.

Its investors include SoftBank Ventures Asia, Golden Gate Ventures, and Sequis Life.

Last year, Alodokter acquired pregnancy-tracking app Diary Bunda from Japan-based Marubeni Corporation for an undisclosed sum.

Alodokter had also launched Alni, a chat-based virtual assistant tailored for physicians. Alni employs conversational AI to help telemedicine practitioners pre-assess patients, among other things.
