Cura Health

What Cura Health does

Cura Health is a Nepal-based healthcare platform operating a mobile application that aggregates doctor appointment booking, telemedicine consultations, lab test booking with home sample collection, and cloud-based patient records into a single integrated service. The company partners with 300+ doctors, 50+ hospitals and clinics, and 20+ diagnostic labs across Nepal to deliver these services to 20,000+ registered users who have collectively generated 10,000+ bookings. The app is available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and the company maintains offices in Kathmandu (headquarters) and Biratnagar. Its core technology stack consists of telemedicine audio/video calling infrastructure, cloud-based storage for patient health records, lab test price comparison logic, and integrated online payment processing.

Cura Health's business model is B2B2C with product-led growth: consumers self-serve download the app while the platform monetizes via transaction fees on paid telemedicine consultations, lab test bookings through partnered diagnostic labs, and appointment booking with partnered hospitals and clinics. Pricing is freemium, with both free and paid telemedicine tiers and per-transaction fees on lab and appointment bookings; specific price points are not publicly disclosed. The company has no disclosed institutional funding or PE/VC backing per the available data, and the founding team comprises Aayush Bhagat (CEO and Software Engineer), Chandan Bhat (Software Engineer), Rajat Agrawal (final-year MBBS student), Jayshree Jaju (Director of Asian Thai Foods), and Denis Karki (Vice Chairman at Birat Medical College).

Cura Health was recognized with the WSA Winner 2022 award from the World Summit Awards in the digital innovation category. It offers a portfolio of over 140 diagnostic lab tests spanning hormone, thyroid, blood sugar, lipid, cancer markers, infectious disease, and general health assessments. The company operates entirely within Nepal with no global footprint claim, and its near-term focus appears to be deepening provider network coverage and consumer adoption in the domestic market.
