Doctree.in, a virtual hospital portal, is helping patients to avail healthcare within their budgets by providing easy and quick loans. While selecting a medical procedure through the portal, patients can avail the facility to obtain quick liquid cash as a loan to avail specialised expensive medical treatments.

“More than 70 per cent of Indian population is uninsured and takes the cash route to pay their medical bills. Specialised medical treatments usually have cost implications that run into several lakhs of rupees and more often it is difficult to raise these funds at a short notice.
