Praava Health

What Praava Health does

Praava Health operates a one-stop-shop outpatient healthcare platform centered on a 10-story flagship family health center in Banani, Dhaka, Bangladesh, serving the country's 170 million citizens. The company integrates family medicine consultations with visiting specialist visits, a network of seven specialized laboratories (Biochemistry & Immunochemistry, Microbiology & Serology, Hematology & Coagulation, Histopathology & Cytopathology, Immunohistochemistry, Clinical Pathology, and Molecular Cancer Diagnostics — the first of its kind in Bangladesh), imaging services, an in-house DGDA-approved pharmacy with e-pharmacy delivery, and home healthcare (sample collection, nursing, doctor visits, physiotherapy, sleep apnea testing, and ECG) across the Dhaka metropolitan area. The patient portal is delivered via a web application and a mobile app available on Android and iOS, supporting appointment booking, video consultations, prescription review, and medical record access.

Revenue is generated through a mix of transactional and recurring streams: per-visit consultations (৳600–1,900 for general physicians; ৳3,000 for psychiatrists), one-time health check packages (৳6,200–26,400) and diagnostic tests, membership subscriptions with unlimited family doctor consultations, multi-month "Amar Jotno" video consultation subscriptions (3/6/12-month plans at ৳3,850–6,250), vaccine administration, pharmacy transactions, and beauty & wellness services. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer (flagship walk-ins, app, phone 10648, home services) with a corporate channel (annual health checks and bulk testing for enterprises such as BGMEA, JICA Bangladesh, and AFD). The customer base is primarily individual patients and families in Dhaka, with a secondary segment of corporate and institutional clients.

The company was founded by Sylvana Quader Sinha, is led by CEO Mohammad Abdul Matin Emon, and operates with 251–500 employees. It holds BAB and ISO 15189:2012 laboratory accreditation, participates in the RIQAS international quality assessment scheme (99.9% average monthly accuracy), and has raised $10.6M in disclosed funding (Series A, March 2021). Geographic operations remain concentrated in Bangladesh with the Banani hub as the single physical site.
